Never turn down an adventure without a really good reason.

I don't think my work has to be loved by everyone, and it's loved by enough people that I'm grateful and able to keep going.

I roam around a lot in my territory, but what I learn at one end inflects and opens up my understanding at the other.

A contrarian at heart, I am often guided by what I disagree with and don't want.

Sure, you can say nuclear power is somewhat less carbon-intensive than burning fossil fuels for energy; beating your children to death with a club will prevent them from getting hit by a car. Ravaging the Earth by one irreparable means is not a sensible way to prevent it from being destroyed by another. There are alternatives. We should choose them and use them.

Everywhere people are at work to build a better world in which we - and some of the beauty of this world - will be guaranteed to survive. Everywhere they are at war with the forces threatening us and the planet.
