Quote

I'm not interested in forcing my beliefs on my readers.

I don't want to waste my readers' time ever. My readers are very important to me.

As a writer, I have readers who will have a range of political views. I don't think they look to me for political guidance.

What I do not want to write is didactic political tracts.

I do not want to be a pawn in a political campaign.

People know that I am a very good author. But they would rather read what I have to say about the next election.

A lot of my traditional audience does not appreciate my foray into politics.

I'm not going to allow myself to be pushed politically.

My readers know my views on politics and politicians because I make no secret of them in my comments for 'The New Yorker' and elsewhere.

I'm not a politician and don't want any part of politics.
