Excellent (video, 46:40). At one point they discuss the English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822). I used a quotation from him on the back cover of one of my early international bestsellers, The Fraud of the Rings (2009):

A system could not well have been devised more studiously hostile to human happiness than marriage.

Staying on the Shelley theme, the other quotation on the back cover, from Shelley Winters (1920-2006), who outlived Percy by 56 years:

In Hollywood, all the marriages are happy. It’s trying to live together afterwards that causes all the problems.
