I'm not afraid of getting into a subject I don't know much about.

I never let my subject get in the way of what I want to talk about.

I can't talk about anything or write about anything if I don't understand it. So a lot of the stuff that I go through and a lot of the time that I spend is understanding.

When you're dealing with serious subjects, there is a pressure to be absolutely sure that you know what you're doing.

I'm curious about everything. Even subjects that don't interest me.

I get passionate about certain subjects, and then I'll write a whole play around it.

When I can't do something, this always impels me to study it.

Sometimes when I find myself very irritated about a topic, I know it's my next book.

The longer I'm alive, the more I realize how little I know. Pretending that you know everything about every topic, and being very vocal about it? That's an instant turnoff.
