I know you'll think this is crazy, but all I want to do is hold you, and I think that if you'll let me do that just for a few seconds, I can walk away, and never speak to you again.
David GutersonThere are things in this universe that we cannot control, and then there are the things we can. . . . Let fate, coincidence, and accident conspire; human beings must act on reason.
David GutersonWell, I think itโs extraordinarily fun to write, and I look forward to it every day, but that doesnโt mean I think itโs easy. Thereโs a difference between the two. Itโs fun in the way all worthwhile things are fun โ thereโs difficulty attached to it. I think that a writer has to accept a certain amount of frustration. Itโs inherent in the task, and you have to simply persevere. Itโs part of the definition of the work.
