More From George Mikes

When i was doing shakespeare and i had spent a lot of time and effort in trying to become a great shakespearean actress. that was how i started my career, was in the theater doing shakespeare. and my ambition was to be a great classical actress. that was what i wanted more than anything. so, i really pursued that in the first four years of my career. and it was an uphill struggle. it really was. shakespeare's difficult and shakespeare in a big theater is even more difficult. so, anyway, it was a struggle for me.

American social arrangements, economic arrangements, the degree of inequality in american life, the relatively small role played by the government in american public life and so forth, compares to exactly the opposite conditions in most of the european societies.

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.

College radio is a very important medium that needs to survive in difficult economic times when some stations are being sold off and shut down. college radio is the future for broadcasting stars and pioneers of tomorrow, and we as a band, coldplay, support the vital mission of college radio and we also support college radio day, the day when college radio comes together.

All the unimaginative assholes in the world who imagine that shakespeare couldn't have written shakespeare because it was impossible from what we know about shakespeare of stratford that such a man would have had the experience to imagine such things - well, this denies the very thing that separates shakespeare from almost every other writer in the world: an imagination that is untouchable and nonstop.

What a gulf between impression and expression! that’s our ironic fate—to have shakespearean feelings and (unless by some billion-to-one chance we happen to be shakespeare) to talk about them like automobile salesmen or teen-agers or college professors. we practice alchemy in reverse—touch gold and it turns into lead; touch the pure lyrics of experience, and they turn into the verbal equivalents of tripe and hogwash.

All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys, the champions and enthusiasts of the state: turbid ardors and vain joys not barrenly abate-- stimulants to the power mature, preparatives of fate.
