"There must always be a struggle between a father and son, while one aims at power and the other at independence"

"It’s not a pretty world, Papa.” “I’ve noticed,” my father said softly."

"My father's right to shape my life had been taken from him by the same being who gave his own life meaning"

"It's not a pretty world, Papa.' 'I've noticed,' my father said softly."

"I think as any mother would be she was absolutely over the moon. And actually we had quite an awkward situation because I knew and I knew that William had asked my father but I didn't know if my mother knew."

My dad is a Jack Nicholson lookalike and a frustrated performer, my mother's into reading and poetry. I suppose the thing I owe them most is my confidence.
