I read certain articles about how all of the new filmmakers are immediately being given massive tentpoles, and there's a lot of original movies that we have now lost as a result of this. I don't want to call it a fad because I think it's a good thing. I think the movies are better as a result.

If you want positive search results, do positive things. If you don't want negative search results, don't do negative things. To some of my colleagues across the aisle, if you're getting bad press articles and bad search results, don't blame Google or Facebook or Twitter. Consider blaming yourself.

I think that anyone who likes writing views 'The New Yorker' as the, you know, pinnacle of the publishing world.

My father would never have said about any of his children you shouldn't express your opinions. But it's the way in which you express them.

Politically it's easy to salve one's conscience, no matter that salving it rarely makes the problem go away.

If you are making money writing, you are doing great. If you can support yourself writing, you are a success. I don't care if you're writing textbooks or Pulitzer Prize-winning articles for weighty publications of world renown: If you're writing and it's paying the bills, consider yourself a successful writer.
Real history is far more complex and interesting than the simplistic summaries presented in Wikipedia articles.
