We can compare classical chess and rapid chess with theatre and cinema - some actors don't like the latter and prefer to work in the theatre.

I think shorter books are going to become more and more of the trend. So I don't think you have to write big, big, long books.

I think we're paralyzed by the virtues of a combination of liberalism and bureaucracy. And Trump doesn't know any of that. All he knows, and he's like every other citizen, fed up with it.

America has to be not just an idea but a living, breathing thing.
