The thing that has always interested me - amidst the scale, the historical spectacle, or the social significance or the political resonance - has been the relationships.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The modern form of things had begun to appeal to me, also (as material for satire) politics, and the lives of the great and little, high up in the social scale.
The thing that interests me most about family history is the gap between the things we think we know about our families and the realities.
Economic chasm between people is something that is of interest to me. And something that I used to write about even as a child. It's something I've revisited a few times in my writings.
What interested me was not news, but appraisal. What I sought was to grasp the flavor of a man, his texture, his impact, what he stood for, what he believed in, what made him what he was and what color he gave to the fabric of his time.
I like historical things; I like researching things.
Basically, I'm motivated to write about sociopolitical issues as well as relationships. I think those themes have stayed with me throughout my life.
The only thing that interests me is history - reviewing the past and making something out of it.
Anything that stimulates the public's imagination about the nobility and the importance of space exploration is something that I'm very excited to be a part of.
My primary interest has always been about exploring the human psyche and humanity.
I think what I was after was a unifying story that could bring everything together, that could give me a sense of the whole of history.
