Donald Trump would never belong to a church that required a ten percent hit. He's too smart.

The one thing an aspiring writer must understand is that it's hard. If you think it's not hard, you're not doing it right.

An editorial writer might consult a reporter to see what she thinks, if it is what she covers. But they are entirely independent.

Ask creative people where they get their ideas, and they will roll their eyes. It's the most common question, but it's also a bad one because the answer is inevitably disappointing. From the inside, creativity seems like an arduous task, often involving plebeian, imperfect choices, driven less by inspiration than by deadline.

I think we are all exhausted by, and sick of, Donald Trump.

I would you say 25-50 percent is the likelihood that my cause of death will be suicide. Not because I am depressive but because I don't attach any moral baggage to suicide, and I have no religion to hold me back. I think suicide is our right, though I think we need to exercise it with knowledge that it can hurt others. So my assumption is that if I got a fatal disease, I'd end things before I got really sick.

Hillary Clinton rubs people the wrong way, for valid reasons.
