Quote

I've always worked on the principle that if it interests me enough to write about it, then it must interest a lot of other people.

In my own work, I've tried to anticipate what's coming over the horizon, to hasten its arrival, and to apply it to people's lives in a meaningful way.

I just like to have the ideas. Other people can help see them through.

I like to reveal people with some of the niceties of social behavior stripped away and the moral, ethical, and political issues are revealed.

And I've always worked on the principle that if it interests me enough to write about it, then it must interest a lot of other people.

I throw ideas out into the open when I really should just be writing them down in a journal.

I like to create a nice environment and let people reveal themselves instead of trying to trick them or surprise them with a hidden question.

I tell everyone I interact with what I'm working on and let them bring me anecdotes that illustrate my themes.

I really like it when you can step outside of what's come before and find a surprise for the reader and find a surprise for yourself.

I try to get people thinking, to consider their pasts and presents, ultimately encouraging them and giving them the tools to embrace the work of reshaping their lives.
