I’m not someone who’s endlessly patient and wonderful.
Television cannot film corruption. Television cannot spend five days on a rattling railway train, talking endlessly. Television needs excitement, it needs an angle, it needs a ‘sound bite.
I feel that there is not an endlessly expandable universe of fiction readers.
Lots of people would say House doesn’t have any charm at all. I would disagree, though: I find him immensely charming and endlessly entertaining. He has a sort of grace and a wit about him, and ultimately, I think he is on the side of the angels.
My nominee for Best Picture of the year – maybe the best picture ever, because it’s essentially made up of and is an ecstatic love letter to all other movies – is Christian Marclay’s endlessly enticing must-see masterpiece ‘The Clock.’
Maybe we ought to consider a Golden Rule in foreign policy: Don’t do to other nations what we don’t want happening to us. We endlessly bomb these countries and then we wonder why they get upset with us?
Language and poetry are endlessly fascinating. The most brilliant work can be so sparse yet so full of meaning. That’s what I’m looking for in a song: imagery to describe things in ways that are perfectly concise. I’m constantly trying to find one hard, crystal thing.
I edit as I write. I revise endlessly. I don’t go forward until I know that what I’ve written is as good as I can make it.

I want to work endlessly and tirelessly until I’m an old, old lady.
The kind of world I’m endlessly going on about is pretty well doomed, but nevertheless I think there are recesses of it worth celebrating.
There is a thing about women, in particular, being endlessly grateful for the opportunities in life, rather than saying, ‘I’m here because I’m good.’
Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening – and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.
I do find the sibling connection endlessly fascinating, as I do all family dynamics. I like how siblings seem to create their own parentless mini-civilization within a family, one that has its own laws, myths, language, humor, its own loyalties and treacheries.
Since the Renaissance, a concept called ‘progress’ has been baked into our society. Progress – founded on an accumulation of knowledge through experience (and in the case of science, through experiment). To build on the past rather than endlessly relive it. That’s what separates us from the beasts.
I am just trying to live for my kids. It is all about my kids now. I love them endlessly.
