One of the things I worked very hard on all my life was to be like everyone else. I tried very hard to fit in.
From Mark Helprin
When people ask me why is 'Winter's Tale' a fantasy, I point out that it is not a fantasy.
Reason is a fine thing, but it is not the only thing available to a writer. It's just part of the arsenal of many things available to a storyteller. Revelation, for example.
Of course, you would have to be insane to hope your child grows up to be a playwright or poet. Given the odds, you would have to be quite cavalier about your children's future.
I've never had a cup of coffee in my life. I can't even remain in the same room with coffee.
When I was very young, I used to clean up after my parents. If I stay in a hotel, I make the bed and clean the room when I get up, even the bathroom mirror, for which I carry a tiny bottle of ammonia.
