The afterword ("On a book entitled Lolita") includes the following just before the "nerves of the novel":
"I have not re-read Lolita since I went through the proofs in the winter of 1954 but I find it to be a delightful presence now that it quietly hangs about the house like a summer day which one knows to be bright behind the haze."

Not exactly what you were after, I know.

Nick.

I try to find where (in what interview) Nabokov says that since 1958  
he has been supported by a little girl named Lolita.
Could anyone help?
Thanks!
