Do you think life goes on forever? That behind every chance is another one and another one? It's the worst kind of extravagance the way you spend your chances, Birdie.

"I wrote Faces out of a lot of anger and dismay with society. I was really angry at our age and especially at those adults who without thinking go to discotheques, without thinking join into anything that is fashionable and without any understanding. I wanted to show the inability of people to communicate; what small things will do to people; how people can't handle certain things that they hear and read in newspapers, see in films; and how when they are not prepared to think with their own minds and feel, how all this can become tragic circumstances. Old ladies trying to be young, shaking their fat asses. Men trying to be sexually attractive. All these old people acting like kids. People are afraid to be themselves, until they become other people, and they can never become themselves again. The change that overcomes all of us is so subtle it's frightening. That's where the frustration is: we never see where or how we started; how we got so mechanical; or what to do about it. You beat your brains trying to find some way that you can encompass what people are feeling rather than what they are led to think."
