As an aspiring Playwright, when I was 15, i wrote to Tom Stoppard and then had a correspondence with him - he couldn't have been more charming and supportive to someone who he didn't know. He was a great man. And then there's this:
"I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like."
