Read these for the proverb

 Read these for the characters and tales, yes, but above all for the language, which seems to rise from the very springs of invention.

 I hadn't read the novel Bleak House . I'd read Dickens, but not this novel. I'd read several of his great novels, though I think it's different if you read them when you're young. You appreciate the storytelling, the stand-out characters, but you don't appreciate his ability as a writer, the depth of his humanity. He writes about everything, the rich, the poor, the prisons, the law courts, the country houses, the orphans and the families. I read the script for Bleak House and I was tentative about it. I'd told the producers, 'I don't do television.' But they charmed me and I did actually read the novel. I was captivated.

 When the season gets here, you start at zero. I know what I'm capable of; it just hasn't happened so far. It's been a bad spring. What can I tell you? I'm not letting it beat me. I have had bad springs, good springs and in-between springs. This has been my worst. ... When things aren't going well, of course you have to critique yourself. If you don't, you're just going through the motions.

 It's a testament to an immigrant who was welcomed by the state of New Jersey and by this country. I was provided the kind of opportunity that you only read about in fairly tales.

 It's the scene in the book that probably gets the most attention, ... The biggest problem is that she is yelling, and in the book it's in big font. This is what happens all the time: They read the language and don't read the context. It's meant to let you know how awful her life is.
