I have no interest in guys who wear armor and swing big swords.
I just think that everything is symbolic, and who you are determines everything that you do, small moves and big moves.
Never use dogs to symbolize anything. That is ridiculous. Always ensure that any dogs are just dogs; i.e., characters in the story who happen to be dogs.
I told everyone who was ready to listen that I had material with pentagonal symmetry. People just laughed at me.
When you are in trouble, people who call to sympathize are really looking for the particulars.
I wrote a novel for my degree, and I'm very happy I didn't submit that to a publisher. I sympathize with my professors who had to read it.
Perhaps you could sympathize with those who seek to replace a dead child with a copy, or to copy a parent or a relative or even a celebrity.
I can't stand going out to one more dinner with some Mrs. So-and-So who might leave a million dollars to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra when she dies.
It appears a bold thing to say so when one sees how much many a modern author who knows how to make a skilful use of the Book of Chronicles has to tell about the tabernacle.

There's a lot of people who feel there's a tabloid journalist who had it coming.
Now when you have administrators deciding what sexuality is, and what's a taboo and what's not in terms of content, you got guys, like, Trent Lott who equates homosexuality with a disease.
I went into a Whole Foods to buy chewable vitamin C and got tackled by, like, 15 girls who watch 'Empire.'
I have done some tacky films, but then they were all my decisions, and I'm happy to have made those because they have made me who I am.
Imagine the world of mobile based on Nokia and Motorola if Apple had not been restarted by a missionary entrepreneur named Steve Jobs who cared more for his vision than being tactical and financial.
I have evolved a lot as a player working with Klopp, who is a very tactical coach.
The guy who sits in front of the TV set with headphones on has lost the capacity to react to the tactile environment.
I was tagged early as the prototypical white player, the guy with the intangibles - the smart player, the guy who did all the right things.
Everyone should have a tailor. David Wilkes, the guy who does my stuff, is like, 'Well you're a writer - do you want a special pen compartment or something?' Bespoke: That's the term you want to get out there.
The thing about India is that even if the economic backgrounds are different, the cultural background is the same. Somebody who is working as a tailor will also tie a black thread around his kid's wrist; so will somebody in Bollywood. That's the fun of being Indian.
