Whenever I say that America has become an empire, someone is sure to say I'm being ridiculous.

I hate, for example, whenever you hear someone say, 'You have work at being a couple.'

Every time you hear someone read your book and liked your book, you're never sure whether that's going to follow with a similar remark from someone else. Perhaps I have low expectations, but whenever I hear someone say, 'I liked your book,' I don't know if it's going to happen again.
