When the going gets tough, the tough go drinking.

I think the books are the books. They were conceived as books. They weren't conceived as movies. When I write scripts, that's an idea and a situation that I think is a really good idea for a movie. When I'm writing a book, I'm not thinking, "Oh, this would be a great movie." This would be a very interesting book. And I think the books are things that cannot really be adapted into another medium.

Why was I holding on to something that would never be mine? But isn't that what people do?

History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.
