I couldn't kill a fly..

I don't spend a lot of time with anybody..

When you are handed something instead of having to work for it, you don't respect it as much..

You have to be willing to recognize failure..

You do a lot of concatenating when you're an Oulipian.

You will never find a better friend to the United States than Australia..

No one is ever going to be as good as I was.

It can always get worse..

You reach a point where you say you're not going to do juveniles any longer..

Faith is always about the Future..

Someone else's success is not your failure..

Always listen for what you can leave out..

This place is full of unwritten rules..

When I get too worked up about things I have always escaped into catatonia..

I don't say any word that I don't approve..

Telling someone they're wrong is not the same as leading or inspiring them to do what's right..

And yet, she knew she could be..

Love. Resoundingly and absolutely..

I don't really see myself as famous..

By nature I'm not a brooder..

I stray away from formulaic, the formatted..
