I took five years on the first volume, five years on the second volume, and ten years on the third volume.

And I'm a slow writer: five, six hundred words is a good day. That's the reason it took me 20 years to write those million and a half words of the Civil War.

It took me ten years and seven books to bag an agent - it took me that long to start writing good.

Ten years ago, in 94, we thought maybe nobody would ever care about Styx again.

One hundred and ten years from now no one who is here now will be alive.

I'd play the same character for ten years if the words and the moments that I'm playing are authentic.
