Quote

It's not my job to tell people what to think. If I can actually in some way help the readers' own creative thinking, then that's got to be to everybody's benefit.

I want my readers to find their own way.

If I've vividly laid out the narrative, the reader will come to his own conclusions.

If you read all the time what other people have done, you will the think the way they thought.

My mission as a writer is to give my readers hope to carry with them, and to promote a belief that they can do anything they set their minds to.

I am the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.

I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.

People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.

For me it's more important that I outline all the facets of a controversial issue and let the reader make up his or her mind. I don't care if readers change their minds, but I would like readers to ask themselves why their opinion is what it is.

You have to let the viewers come away with their own conclusions. If you dictate what they should think, you've lost it.
