The things that block a writer are not the lack of words, but the same things that block all people - the difficulties of life.

I'm not driven. I love writing. My imagination is always working. I write when I have time, and life allows me the time.

I prefer the plain and simple sentences: the ones that you don't notice because you're so interested in what's happening to the people and events that the sentences are creating.

It is a great thing to have a big brain, a fertile imagination, grand ideals, but the man with these, bereft of a good backbone, is sure to serve no useful end.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Continuity is at the heart of conservatism: ecology serves that heart.
