Summary

This quote suggests that the conventional idea of a perfect life, including a stable marriage, children, and material possessions, is merely an illusion.

I always, always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that, when I got a mini-series, I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.

I put down certain difficult stuff, but I give my readers clues to understand what this kind of stuff is.
