It is difficult to undo our own damage, and to recall to our presence that which we have asked to leave. It is hard to desecrate a grove and change your mind. The very holy mountains are keeping mum. We doused the burning bush and cannot rekindle it;...
What have we been doing all these centuries but trying to call God back to the mountain, or, failing that, raise a peep out of anything that isn't us? What is the difference between a cathedral and a physics lab? Are not they both saying: Hello? We s...
When you do your research write down whatever interests you. Whatever stimulates your imagination. Whatever seems important. A story is built like a stone wall. Not all the stones will fit. Some will have to be discarded. Some broken and reshaped. Wh...

When someone says you can't do what you know you can do, then you can't do anything.
Power and wealth are not two of my main stakes.
Nobody makes movies like Oliver Stone.
Old age is, so to speak, the sanctuary of ills: they all take refuge in it.
I love coming of age stories that have struggle.
Exposure from a young age to the realities of the world is a super-big thing.

I would go out with women my age, but there are no women my age.
