My diary is a kind of heart-of-darkness story, both (his character) Private Joker's story and my story — of a young man leaving his home and his country and going to meet this very unexpected experience.

Stanley didn't shy away from true humanity or from the ugliness that all people are capable of.

I always knew I would do something special with my memories of working with Stanley.

Stanley Kubrick the man turned out to be very gentle.

That the only person who can save you is yourself. The only person you can really forgive is you.
