Harold Pinter
Image
I'm not committed as a writer, in the usual sense of the term, either religiously or politically. And I'm not conscious of any particular social function. I write because I want to write. I don't see any placards on myself, and I don't carry any banners.

Harold Pinter
Image
Clinton's hands remain incredibly clean, don't they, and Tony Blair's smile remains as wide as ever. I view these guises with profound contempt.
Harold Pinter
Image
I was brought up in the War. I was an adolescent in the Second World War. And I did witness in London a great deal of the Blitz.
