Gentlemen I fervently trust that before long the principle of arbitration may win such confidence as to justify its extension to a wider field of international differences.

Before we decide to trust you with this power we ask you to stand before the public and explain your views. Justice may be blind but it should not be deaf.

When it comes to locations I'm one of those crazy authors who has to see it touch it taste it before I trust myself to recreate it for my readers. Having said that visiting a locked-down pediatric psych ward was the most intimidating research I've ever done - and I've visited maximum security prisons shooting galleries bone collections etc.

I always market research my books before I hand them in by showing them to five or six close friends who I trust to be honest with me so they are very heavily re-written already.

I never practice before I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them and after that it's about the director taking your hand.

I hope and trust the infinite the eternal and merciful and loving God. I worship Him and feel no guilt in my heart before him for what I am going to do.

My interactions with Sorkin were agonisingly weird. He is by far the weirdest person I have ever met. I had dinner with him and a few hours before I got an e-mail from his assistant saying 'Sean this does not need to be a long conversation. Aaron is only going to use it to win your trust.'

I really wish we could stay longer in the countries we visit but I've been lucky to have visited most of them before because I've done a tremendous amount of travel.

When I began writing that I was able and did travel and met some fascinating people and also uncovered some history which has not been discovered before.

Strange is it not? That of the myriads who Before us pass'd the door of Darkness through Not one returns to tell us of the Road Which to discover we must travel too.
