“I take pride in the creation of my wealth, in its existence and in the uses to which it has been and is being put.”

“You cannot further the Brotherhood of Man by encouraging class hatred.”

“You cannot bring about prosperity without discouraging thrift.”

“A novel is utterly your own creation, a very private process. I think of a novel as a noun and a screenplay as a verb. In a novel, very little needs to happen; you can explore a person's memories and thoughts and fantasies. In a screenplay, it's all action; you must push the story on.”

“Every thread of creation is held in position by still other strands of things living.”

“The process of writing a novel is getting to know more about the novel until you know everything about it. And it's been described as a kind of dreamlike state where you're letting the novel make its own shape, and you're putting into it the pleasure of creation, which is intoxicating.”
