I'm happy to report that 'The New Press' is still in business to this day. But not thanks to me. I was a really bad publishing intern.

Being a hero, the man had observed, is largely a matter of knowing one’s cues.

We have reached the point where ignorance and neglect are the best we can hope for in a ruler.

I don't know if I've ever derived such an immediate sense of calm and well-being from any book as I did from 'Right Ho, Jeeves.' It was like I was Pac-Man and the book was a power-up.

I think for a long time, I was paralyzed by some of my hopes and ideals for what my life was going to be like. I had this perfect vision of how my life should go, but it seemed - it was - impossible to realize, so I sat around for a long, long time doing almost nothing at all.

I love playing with the conventions of fantasy, and breaking rules, and crossing lines.

I mean, when you're tired of book reviews, you're tired of life.
