Fatigue is what we experience, but it is what a match is to an atomic bomb.

I think authors can get into trouble viewing the subject matter as their turf.

The following Wednesday, I opted to go with Random House.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

It's believing you can push through the exhaustion just to be able to sing after you do a cartwheel or a split.

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.
