It is in quiet that our best ideas occur to us. Don't make the mistake of believing that by a frantic kind of dashing around you are being your most effective and efficient self. Don't assume that you are wasting time when you take time out for thought.
Fantasy is expensive. It's an expensive endeavor. I have to admit, I didn't write with adaptation in mind. So the books simply become more outlandish as they go on, and they're full of a lot of locations and elaborate set pieces.
It is not simply the brightest who have the best ideas; it is those who are best at harvesting ideas from others.

We don't talk about that at all as a country. I think that most people assume that there's nothing they could do if a nuclear bomb went off in their city. And that's just not true.
