More From Robert Caro
- "You know, my first three or four drafts, you can see, are on legal pads in long hand. And then I go to a typewriter, and I know everybody’s switching to a computer. And I’m sort of laughed at."
- "I really wanted there to be something in my life that I enjoy just for the beauty of it."
- "I like new ballets because they’re totally new. As you get older, new experiences are harder and harder to come by, so it’s pretty great to have a new experience."
