要成为一名作家，必须有一定的傲慢，相信自己要说的话对别人来说足够重要。
"To be a writer, one must have a certain arrogance, a belief that what one has to say is important enough for others to hear."
The best decisions are made at the intersection of data and intuition.
"I'd never given much thought to how I would die, but dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go."
"The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter."
我喜欢与愿意冒险的演员合作。
