It's really important when we're writing our opinions to be transparent about what our decision method in the case is and how we get from Point A to B to C in the analysis.

The people sensible enough to give good advice are usually sensible enough to give none.

C is peculiar in a lot of ways, but it, like many other successful things, has a certain unity of approach that stems from development in a small group.

I'm moving to a point that I'm fed up with the N.C.A.A. dictation.

There used to be that you only had four or five critics that you would look to for intelligent conversation, but now there are millions of people who can just press 'send,' and everyone's got an opinion even if no one cares what they say. It makes things a little bit tougher.

We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

It's very nice to be able to write something you don't have to get four other people to agree with before it can become authoritative.

I think the world is run by 'C' students.

I get suggestions all the time. People feel quite free at events or even on the street to tell me what they think I should be writing. What I've learned, though, is that this thing, this connection, has to be in place for me to be able to kind of launch into a world imaginatively.

I look for the consensus because the consensus drives the policy into new places.
