We read to know we're not alone.
I just love working. I really enjoy the work, whatever it is.

I respect journalism. I was always very aware of journalism from a very broad point of view, but I'd say my baptism by fire was doing the Donald Margulies play Time Stands Still. That for me was a real education because I spent a lot of time with some incredible journalists, war reporters particularly - Bob Woodruff, Dexter Filkins - people who were very helpful in painting the picture for me and reading the accounts of people and what they experienced, a lot of PTSD.

Wherever I find envy I take a pleasure in provoking it: I always praise before an envious man those who make him grow pale.
