I never put out a history, I put out a dramatic history.

I am not trying to be a historian and a dramatist; I'm a dramatist, a dramatic historian, or one who does a dramatic interpretation of history.

I study history in order to give an interpretation.

I will come out with my interpretation. If I'm wrong, fine. It will become part of the debris of history, part of the give and take.

Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.

I think that many people in history who had power were bumped off because they had power.
