If the Indian people want stories written about themselves how they want them told they are going to have to make them they're going to have to finance them. If you let Hollywood do it Hollywood is going to get it wrong most of the time.

Studios because they are investing a great deal of money in movies they want a guarantee that when they hire somebody that person can deliver for them. Everything is fear based so they pigeonhole people. But I've written everything from Westerns to sci-fi to dramedy I've done it all.

The vehemence with which certain critics have chosen not simply to criticize what I've written but to challenge my writing this story at all speaks of what the book is about: fear of disapproval.

There is a misleading unwritten rule that states if a quote giving advice comes from someone famous very old or Greek then it must be good advice.

It is no longer an unwritten law of American capitalism that industry will attempt to maintain wages at a level that allows a single wage to support a family.

I have written too much history to have faith in it and if anyone thinks I'm wrong I am inclined to agree with him.

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'

I feel that 'The Great Failure' is really a book written out of great love and a willingness to face all of who a human being is.

Every book I've written has been a different attempt to understand something and the success or failure of the previous one is irrelevant. I write the book I want.

I enjoy writing but I much prefer the experience of having written.
