‘The roles that we construct are constructed because we feel that they will help us to survive and also, of course,  because they fulfil something in our personalities; and one does not, therefore, cease playing a role simply  because one has begun to understand it.  The world tends to trap you in this role you play and it is hard to  maintain a watchful, mocking distance between oneself  as one appears to be and oneself as one actually is.’
