If you don't have nerves and a little trepidation about any new project, then I don't think you're really alive.

I love writing, and I love the solitude of the writing, in that you're just sitting there creating something from nothing, or a new story for characters you love and care about.

People in New Hampshire know that I'll talk thoughtfully, substantively about any issue.

Really, I'm only alive out of curiosity. I'm very curious about where we're all marching.

I'm not big on sequels; I've done them, but I like doing little things that have their own timelessness to them, classic type things, and then you go onto something new.

What you think about when you don't have to think, shows what you really are.
