My First And Biggest Love Was Always

The Fact Is That Everything I Have In My Pockets Is Carefully Chosen So I’ll Always Be Prepared. Everything Is There So I Can Be At An Advantage At The Moment Of Truth. Actually, That’s Not Accurate. Everything’s There So I Won’t Be At A Disadvantage At The Moment Of Truth.

As The Son Of Holocaust Survivors, This Is Life - You're Put In A Corner, And You Have To Get Out. I Believe That You Can Always Get Out.

I Remember A Point In [writing] The Story Where I Said, "this Isn't Working, I Should Go And Buy Something At The Supermarket Or My Wife Will Kill Me." Then I Said, "no, I'll Go On."

My Mother, For Example, Told The German Officer Not To Kill Her. She'd Make It Worth His While. And Then, When They Were Doing It, She Pulled A Knife Out Of Her Belt And Sliced Open His Chest, Just Like She Used To Open Chicken Breasts To Stuff With Rice For The Sabbath Meal.

What You Experience In The Army, Aged 18 To 21, Is What You Take Through All Your Life. You Cross Invisible Lines: You Shoot Someone, Get Shot, Break Into People's Houses. It's Naive To Think You Won't Carry Anything Into Your Life.
