A 20-year-old is never going to give death a second thought, whereas someone in their late 50s is going to think about it... I don't know, 20 times a day.

I am not a politics wonk. I like the idea of my writing reflecting more about who I am or other people.

I never go back over something I've done and I never watch them again.

Movies feel like work, and reading fiction feels like work, whereas reading nonfiction feels like pleasure.

To what degree are historians chroniclers of the truth and to what degree are they just novelists, frankly?

If you're growing up in times of peace and live in a country where there's plenty of food and good healthcare, you grow up without any relationship with death.

Firms are a bit concerned about things like oil prices and US growth but actually the change (in firms expectations) is quite small so I think broadly theyre looking for more of the same.
