"I write a lot from instinct.

Real basic craft... it's second nature."

-- Janis Ian

Why, thatâ€™s the very nature of man, I thought, to press past limits, to prove his freedom. It isnâ€™t the challenge that faces us, that determines who we are and what we are becoming, but the way we meet the challenge, whether we toss a match at the wreck or work our way through it, step by step, to freedom.”
“I am flattered that they think that many people would enjoy my work. I don't approach any genre a different way than I may approach another one. I treat every role I do like a role worthy of applying whatever kind of tactic, process and talent I have.”
