A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.

"In the end, we are all just stories. Make yours worth telling."

"Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities simply by being given the opportunity to do so."

最好的电影是那些在你离开剧院后仍久久留在你心中的电影。
