Amos Oz

I find the family the most mysterious and fascinating institution in the world.

A conflict begins and ends in the hearts and minds of people, not in the hilltops.

One of the things I wanted to introduce in The Same Sea beyond transcending the conflict, is the fact that deep down below all our secrets are the same.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'

One of the greatest things drama can do, at it's best, is to redefine the words we use every day such as love, home, family, loyalty and envy. Tragedy need not be a downer.

We read our own political content into The Clash, and they accepted it.
