I'm in favor of any technology that makes my work available to the reading public at a reasonable price.

I've experienced writer's block, but never for more than a few days.

I was pretty much grown-up by the time I attended school in Britain - or as grown-up as I'll ever get.

I found college useful for a lot of other reasons. It exposed me to a great many influences I wouldn't otherwise have encountered, and gave me a lot of time with some very intelligent people whose thoughts are still with me.

Everything that you read is an influence on everything you write, and you want to draw as many elements into your work as you can.

When state and religion are one, religion becomes a means for the powerful to remain in power.

If you can find collaborators whose strengths compliment your own, the result can be more than the sum of its authors.
