妈妈，你怎么那么爱笑？ / 因为妈妈生了你呀。

Art is not an escape from reality, but a deeper engagement with it.

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

In a way, if you like, at one end of the spectrum of sympathy, you've got the tabloid newspaper. At the other end of the spectrum, you've got tragedy and tragic art. And I suppose I'm arguing that we should learn a little bit about what's happening in tragic art. It would be insane to call Hamlet a loser. He is not a loser, though he has lost. And I think that is the message of tragedy to us, and why it's so very, very important, I think.
