If someone doesn't like your fiction, it's really insulting.

I work with wood a lot. I like building. I think of building. I would love to buy land on some water somewhere and build a house. That'd be nice.

To have too much time is not good, you have to force yourself. And human beings aren't meant for true freedom. I've learned that, having had it.

If someone doesn't like your fiction, it's really insulting.

I've written five books, a book every three years. I'm fairly lazy and it doesn't take that much...people who are not lazy are Isaac Asimov.

I think fiction is about small ambition, small failed ambition.

Don't write about a character. Become that character, and then write your story.
