And it's impossible for me to read Henry James.

I had the idea in my twenties that a writer could immediately become the late Henry James. Henry James himself had to mature. Even Saul Bellow did.

I always seemed to disappoint them. They expected me to be different than Henry or exactly like Henry. I was neither.

I never had a great role in a great film.

I've never been that keen on Shakespeare.

I never met Morrissey.

I never had any awkward situations with Shah Rukh.

Nobody ever pegged James Gandolfini for a leading man. Least of all James Gandolfini.

I never have celebrity crushes.
