I'm usually two projects ahead. It's hard for me because I don't have a really long attention span.

Rather than look at a marriage as two people morphing into one thing, you could see two individuals who are choosing to form a partnership.

There's something really nice about missing the person you're with. To have someone be apart enough to force independence and to also look forward to seeing that person.

My directing is really weird. Everything is based on whether it's working or not. I don't try to fix something if it's not working, I'll just change it.

If you're a working mom, you're still expected to be a super-mom at home, buy organic food, put dinner on the table every night, and do all the research into preschools. It's really hard.

Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.

Nature has a healing power that teaches us that we are a part of a larger world.

I write because I know I am only one to control the world I created in my books.

I have a wife, a son, and I've had some practical life experience.

Being a philosopher, I have a problem for every solution.

The ethics of editorial judgement, however, began to go though a sea change during the late 1970s and 80s when the Carter and Reagan Administrations de-regulated the television industry.

I fracked over 3,000 wells in my life and never had a problem with an aquifer.

A long dispute means both parties are wrong.
