There should really not be anything gratuitous in a work of art. Sometimes what seems as if it's gratuitous may be a passage in which a character is being characterized so that the reader comes to know him or her better.

There's definitely a thin line between being tasteful and tacky.

I think in general, lines are a bad idea. Especially if they sound like lines. Everyone's immediate reaction is to just kind of cringe a little bit.

There's a fine line in being too specific so you can't be too flexible, and being too vague in being specific and people not thinking it's meaningful.

I've always believed that if you are precise in your thoughts, it's not the lines you say that are important - it's what exists between the lines. What I'm compelled by most is that transparency of thought, what is left unspoken.

I do say no to things that I think are completely gratuitous.

I just think that pick-up lines in general are horrible. None of them work.

There's definitely a fine line between tasteful and tasteless, and as a stylist, it's a line you want to ride very carefully.
