HUMILITY is not my forte, and WHENEVER I dwell for any length of TIME on my own shortcomings, they gradually begin to seem mild, harmless, rather engaging LITTLETHINGS, not at all like the staring defects in other people's characters.
I THINK the best American POETRY is the poetry that utilizes the resources of poetry rather than exploits the DEFECTS or triumphs of the poet's PERSONALITY.
I never yet heard man or woman MUCH abused that I was not inclined to think the better of them, and to TRANSFER the SUSPICION or DISLIKE to the one who found PLEASURE in pointing out the defects of another.
I liked 'Scream of the Banshee' because it was a real CHALLENGE. I THOUGHT, 'How am I going to PULL off this character?' But, I also thought, 'Oh, man, I'm going to go for it.' He's got all the DEFECTS of character that an actor loves to play. So, I had a REALLY great time.
When Indian economy was GROWING at the rate of 8 to 9 percent, I think everybody was quite happy. Even when there were defects in our POLICIES, they were overlooked, and when the economy slows down, people try to FIND fault and EXCUSES.
With whom do you argue? With a woman, of course. Not with a friend, because he accepted all your DEFECTS the MOMENT he found you. Besides, woman is mother-have we FORGOTTEN?
