The world is a complicated place, and I try to reflect that in my writing.
任何一个有智力的笨蛋都可以把事情搞得更大，更复杂，也更激烈。往相反的方向前进则需要天份，以及很大的勇气。
The nightmare thought is that frightening people is the best way to get work out of them, and that somehow the crueler the environment, the more people will rise to the challenge. You want to think, who would you like as your ideal dad? And your ideal dad is somebody who is tough but gentle. And it's a very hard line to make. We need fathers, as it were, the exemplary father figures in society, avoiding the two extremes, which is the authoritarian disciplinarian on the one hand, and on the other, the lax, no-rules option.
You don't love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.
You can't get mad at anybody else for your own mistakes.
不要担心别人不理解你，要担心你不理解别人。
我不相信风格，我相信真实性。
故事的力量不在于其长度，而在于其深度和主题的普遍性。
