Quote

I have been in control of what I've been doing, of the career I've put together.

The way I run my business seems to be easier than the way I run my life.

My business is the art of balancing the need to make money with the desire to create.

I've been kicking around this business for a long time.

I thought, if I went into business I'd be able to control my own destiny.

Now that I'm staring down the barrel of the last act of my life, I'm less excited about control and solo effort, and I resent the way the business aspects interfere with my space for creative writing.

As you grow in this business, you learn how to do more with less.

I think I've changed my business strategy every year since 2003. You have to be watching the horizon constantly. The rug has been pulled out from under our feet so many times.

It's tough to break into this business - now more so than ever.
