Quote

I know how easy it is for some minds to glide along with the current of popular opinion, where influence, respectability, and all those motives which tend to seduce the human heart are brought to bear.

I always write about subjects which attract me because if I didn't, it would be awful, a failure.

Any subject can be made interesting, and therefore any subject can be made boring.

Also, differences of opinion can be creatively stimulating as well as frustrating.

The focus of subjectivity is a distorting mirror.

Literature at its fullest takes human nature as its theme. That's the kind of writing that interests me.

I try to find a subject that is interesting to me and to the viewer both. If I can't, then I stop right there.

It makes sense that whatever the topic is, it's more compelling if you can provide the audience with a range of perspectives, and you can cross disciplines. And you don't have to control what people take out of it.

IT is difficult to speak or write with becoming moderation or propriety, on topics to which we are biased by prejudice, interest, or even principle.

I write with as much objectivity as I can.
