I think for many people there'll be no middle ground.
Publicly, I have always expressed a great deal of confidence in human nature, but in private I have wondered if anybody would ever pay for anything on the Net, ... It now looks as though people will, and I am faced with the real possibility of finishing 'The Plant.'
Some people say that I must be a horrible person, but that's not true. I have the heart of a young boy -- in a jar on my desk.
I believe most people are essentially good. I know that I am. It's you I'm not entirely sure of.
Remember in elementary school you were told that in case of fire you have to line up quietly in a single file from smallest to tallest? What is the logic in that? What, do tall people burn slower?

I think the best stories always end up being about the people rather than the event, which is to say character-driven.
Ninety-eight percent of what goes on in people's heads is none of their smucking business.
