“I was very lucky. I was just finishing my PhD at Cambridge in 1981. This opportunity came up because whaling was drawing to an end. There was the prospect of a moratorium, and one of the arguments that was brought up, especially by Japanese whalers, was that, if we didn't have whaling, we would know nothing of whales. All the science depends on having dead animals, they argued, so that's one of the benefits of the whaling industry.”

“I learned to separate the story from the writing, probably the most important thing that any storyteller has to learn-that there are a thousand right ways to tell a story, and ten million wrong ones, and you're a lot more likely to find one of the latter than the former your first time through the tale.”
“I have said it many a time, and am surer of it than ever, that the life and death issue of Christianity is the inspiration and authority of the Bible.”
“It is great to have direct, unfiltered, interaction with your fans on Twitter and FaceBook, or whatever. I am not totally convinced that it has revolutionized the sales model.

“It suddenly made sense. Only twice in his life had he felt this inexplicable, almost mystical attraction to a woman. Heâ€™d thought it remarkable, to have found two, when in his heart heâ€™d always believed there was only one perfect woman out there for him. His heart had been right. There was only one.”
“American history is not something dead and over. It is always alive,always growing, always unfinished.”
“Iâ€™m constantly in doubt about what Iâ€™m doing, Iâ€™m constantly tortured, and thatâ€™s why I say happiness is irrelevant. Happiness is for children and yuppies. Iâ€™m not striving for happiness, Iâ€™m trying to get some work done. And sometimes the best work is done under doubt. Constant rethinking, and reevaluating what youâ€™re doing, working and working until you feel itâ€™s finished. And thatâ€™s an interesting point too, that youâ€™ve got to know when to stop. Sometimes thereâ€™s a magical moment when everything comes together.”
