Because I'm such a creative person, and I've always got my nose in a book, I suppose it was only a matter of time before non-fiction turned into fiction again. But I never consciously set out to become a writer and I never thought I'd be doing the things I'm doing today.
I suppose I'm trying to build an architecture that's as timeless as possible, although we're all creatures of our age.
Let me just say that anything that I say about what's going on at Justice is pure speculation. Obviously, you know, I'm just going based on my experience as the attorney general, but, yeah, surprised because typically you don't talk about investigations. And it kind of surprised me that that letter went out, and I suppose that the reason for it is because we're in the middle of a presidential campaign. But nonetheless, I think it would be contrary to typical protocol.
I've not only pursued the American dream, I've achieved it. I suppose we could say the last few years, I've also achieved the American nightmare.
I suppose every time [something bad happens], I have that instinct to make that joke that distracts.
Of all fatiguing, futile, empty trades, the worst, I suppose, is writing about writing.
I suppose things are better now, but. . . I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.
I've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole, I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it.
Man has been here 32,000 years. That it took a hundred million years to prepare the world for him is proof that that is what it was done for. I suppose it is, I dunno. If The Eiffel Tower were now to represent the world's age, the skin of paint on the pinnacle knob at its summit would represent man's share of that age; and anybody would perceive that the skin was what the tower was built for. I reckon they would, I dunno.
I always liked routine. I suppose I never found boredom very boring.
So long as the Universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the Universe is really completely self-contained, it would have neither beginning or end, it would simply be. What place then for a creator?
If I get enough letters saying you never explained this or that, I suppose I'll have to write another book.
I don't have to work. I suppose I should retire. But I enjoy working.
Suppose no one asked a question. What would the answer be?
My earliest poems were a way of talking to somebody. I suppose to myself.
Suppose you had a cross burning in a play or a movie. . . Would that be intimidating?
Do not suppose opportunity will knock twice at your door.
I suppose I am a snob. I loathe towns. I loathe townspeople. They have small minds and giant backsides. Which is to say, what they lack in interiors they make up in posteriors.
I suppose you do think about the time that's allotted to you more than when you were younger. The mortality thing obviously has a stronger pull for you. It's an imminent truth; it's not necessarily a bad thing. You realize - much earlier than my age now - that you won't be able to play for England's football team, just to take a really crass example. So you can't have that life again. Unless you believe in reincarnation or whatever. Reincarnation? That's a whole other question. I find people who talk about that sort of thing in interviews idiotic. And I don't want to go down with them.
I suppose that I am ambitious.
