“My job is to have empathy and curiosity for things that I've never don...” — Richard Ford Quote

“My job is to have empathy and curiosity for things that I've never done. Also, I'm a person whom people talk to.”

“In order to write novels for a living - it's not pathological, but I do think and worry and brood and fidget about stuff that I'm working on.”

“I've been mainly a happy boy in my life. I married the right girl and we did what we wanted to do.”

“The most amazing gift about being a novelist is that you get to pursue your curiosity every day.”

“We didn't set out to be educators or even scientists, and we don't purport that what we do is real science but we're demonstrating a methodology by which one can engage and satisfy your curiosity.”

“These are the sort of things that push you on in music - the curiosity, a passion for new ideas.”
