PADDY CHAYEFSKY:
[Responding to opening comments made by presenter Norman Mailer:] In the name of all us perverts.
I don't as a rule, in fact I don't ever before remember making public acknowledgment of private and very personal feelings, but I think it's time that I acknowledge two people whom I can never really thank properly or enough. I would like to thank my wife Sue and my son Dan for their indestructible support and enthusiasm, for their ideas, their discussions, their stimulation and for their very presence: my gratitude and my love. Thank you.
