I Would Say That Writing,

A Good Day's Writing, When I Turn Off My Computer After I Know That I've Written Okay, Or As Well As I Can Write, That's A Day Well Spent.

I Stopped Writing At The Age Of 18. I Had Written Incessantly Before That. I Read, Of Course, Because I Was In University, But I Wasn't Going To Write. I Wasn't Going To Do Any Of Those Dangerous Things. I Was Going To Be A Stolid, Bourgeois Lawyer.

Our Language, One Of Our Most Precious Natural Resources, Deserves At Least As Much Protection As Our Woodlands, Streams And Whooping Cranes.

The Definition Of Genius, Really, Should Be That That Person Can Do What The Rest Of Us Have To Learn How To Do.

I Think That Anybody's Craft Is Fascinating. A Taxi Driver Talking About Taxi Driving Is Going To Be Very, Very Interesting.
