Joe Haldeman

I carry a notebook and write down things to do, and I write out thoughts and stuff like that.

If I had had a thing like an iPad when I was a kid, then I never would have gotten into the habit of writing things down by hand.

Political art - not always a contradiction in terms - can destroy institutions, or eat away at them.

I don't think I was a good model. I think I was born to emote and act. I would walk down the ramp and smile and they used to say, 'Give us a blank look.' It was really difficult not to smile.

The Lebanese people voted this time for change. So they are not satisfied with the actual situation. They want to see a new government. They want to see a new vision.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
