The ideal is to feel at home anywhere, everywhere.

I would agree on the aging thing. Because, at a certain point, once you start noticing it, it is your subject. And I know young that people, when they get to 30, say, "Oh, I'm so old." But actually, around 50, you do become conscious of it.

Like most writers I spend a lot of my time sort of thinking, "It's such agony, I can't do it."

Each of my book arrives at a form and a style that is appropriate to the subject.

The one thing that you can say about the new Cabinet Donald Trump is putting together. That seems to be one of the coherent themes. They're very, very skeptical about Iran.

I always hope to come up with a style of writing that's appropriate to the material and I felt like this was. And then there's plenty of - I don't know if it's the right word but - lampooning, but it's always at my expense.

I always like to be in the presence of people who are good at and love their jobs, Irrespective of their jobs.
