In America, if you don't do a 100 million dollars, you've done nothing.

It’s trite to say that the world has gotten smaller in the age of globalization, but my travels have told me that it’s wrong to think that this means... there is some kind of uniform world culture.

I write in American slang.

English is taking over the world. I just wrote a piece about it. And it's not by design. The United States dominates because it's the biggest market.

The world has become more complex as technology and easy travel mixes cultures without homogenizing them.

You can really do more than you think you can do.

I get work because I'm primarily a novelist but I've become script doctor. I can work back and forth between French and English.
