Excerpt
With my habit of going backstage always,
I did not find that the drama lay in
tragic incidents of a person's life,
but in the hidden motivations which
lay behind these incidents, the "interior fatality. I was more curious as to
what prevented a personality from
developing, a talent from blossoming.
a life from expanding, a love from
being fulfilled. My personal obsession with a human
being's potential drove me to seek
the handic~ps, blocks, interferences,
impediments. This meant finding the
original wish by examining early
dreams and fantasies, their progression, and their withering.
