It has alwaysbewildered me, and I can saythat even now it’s still mostlyunresolved… ‘Who am I?’ Ashackneyed and simplistic asthe question might sound tous of the dot-com e-mailcomputer age, it may stillremain the most importantone we can ever ask.”Sam Shepard, “Foreword,” in Mary Motley Kalergis, Seen and Heard:Teenagers Talk about Their Lives (New York: Stewart, Tabori, and Chang,1998).may think thisgreat calamitythat happened,way back when – this so-calleddisaster between me and yourmother – you might actuallythink that it had somethingto do with you, but you’re deadwrong. Whatever took placebetween me and her wasstrictly personal.See you in my dreams.”Extract from the short story See You In My Dreams, Sam Shepard,1996,from Cruising Paradise, pub. Martin Secker & Warburg Ltd.

henryThe initialinspiration forHenry Moss was ashort story by Frank O’Connor ‘TheLate Henry Conran’ (1931). Shepardstarted to write the play in 1989and completed it ten years later. Adevelopment of the idea iscontained in one of his shortstories ‘See You in My Dreams’,contained in the anthology ‘CruisingParadise’ (1996).“I grew up in a condition where themale influences around me wereprimarily alcoholics and extremelyviolent and, at the same time, likelost children, not knowing how todeal with it. Instead, they wereplunked down on the desert notknowing how they got there.”“In a way I prefer hopelessness tohope. I think there’s more hope inhopelessness.”“My dad came from an extremely ruralfarm community – wheat farmers - inIllinois, and next thing he knows he’sflying B-24s over the South Pacific,over Romania, dropping bombs andkilling people he couldn’t even see.”“There is no escape from thefamily…even if you didn’t know whoyour mother and father were, if younever met them, you are stillintimately, inevitably, and entirelyconnected to who brought you intothe world – through a long, longchain, regardless of whether youknew them face to face or not. Youcould be the most outcast orphanand yet you are still inevitablyconnected to this chain.”Extracts from an interview with Sam Shepard byMatthew Roudane, 2000, from The CambridgeCompanion to Sam Shepard, CUP 2002, ed.Matthew Roudane

The women didn’tunderstand it, the men didn’t understandit and the medicine was booze.”“The men seemed like they weredevastated, the women were continuallytrying to heal them, but were alsosuffering horribly behind it.”“I honour those that came before me;if you don’t honour your ancestors,you commit a kind of suicide.”“I’ve always had a strange feeling ofbeing an exile, in some sort of limbo…Aloneness is very interesting to me,exile, a kind of banishment, andyet having to take part.”“My father seemed to live apart - rightin the midst of things.”Sam Shepard in interviewFrom Days of Blackouts Sam Shepard,1996,from Cruising Paradise, pub.
