I'm Happy To Have My Own Opinion

After I Became A Citizen, I Felt Freer To Say What I Thought About This Country, Both Negative And Positive. I Think I Had Been, Consciously And Subconsciously, Biting My Tongue In The Past.

I Grew Up In Kind Of The Last Generation Of Canadians Who Thought Things That Were Happening In Britain Were More Important, Almost, Than What Was Happening In Canada. And My Mother Was Fervently Of That Opinion.

And I'm In Favor Of That Because I Have A Gay Son, Who's A Very Successful Theater Designer.

I'm Happy To Have My Own Opinion And Air It When I Think It's Necessary.

Wordstruck Is Exactly What I Was—and Still Am: Crazy About The Sound Of Words, The Look Of Words, The Taste Of Words, The Feeling For Words On The Tongue And In The Mind.
