People assume that science is a very cold sort of profession, whereas writing novels is a warm and fuzzy intuitive thing. But in fact, they are not at all different.

Actors act... Their job is to become this character. And I have, in fact, seen Sam Heughan become Jamie and Caitriona Balfe become Claire right before my eyes. It was an astonishing transformation.

I learned just recently, in fact, that a lot of people who read do not form a visual image from what they're reading. They just don't. They follow the events and get the resonance with the language, but they have only a vague, general idea of what the characters look like.

The fact is, I don't have anything to tell you. And I don't know why anyone would assume that I would.

Creativity is very selfish. Scandalously so, in fact.

Girl when the nights cold I'm warm holding the fact That I got you holding my backWith my feelings stealing the blue of the sky leaving them grey Girl you the sun to brighten up my dayWhen it seem like the hill to steep and my vision getting blurryCall on you my dove be there in a hurryWhen all is gone wrong and I can't go on you my angel immortalised in song baby forever
