“People who are lying are, understandably, more worried about being believed, so they work harder - too hard, as it were - at being believable.”

“Salary negotiations shouldn't be limited to just salary. Salary pays your mortgage, but terms build your career.”

“The No. 1 rule in any negotiation is don't take yourself hostage. People do this to themselves all the time by being desperate for 'yes' or afraid of 'no,' so they don't ask for what they really want. Instead, they ask for what they can realistically get. I've heard many people say, 'Well, that's a non-starter, so we won't even bring it up.'”

“We are writing fiction, but we are trying to create a world that's believable.”

“I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.”

“I see the portrayal of any believable female character as feminist.”
