“I come from a newspaper background, so maybe I'm attuned to current events.”

“I probably would have gone the M.F.A. route except I was a dad at 19, and it made more sense to go to work for a newspaper and support a kid that way. But the funny thing is, that detour became the most important step in my developing as a novelist.”

“I'm a writer, and the subject is less important than the act of writing itself.”

“One of the biggest problems that software developers face is that technology changes rapidly. It is very hard to stay current.”

“I hate when there's a band that you've loved and you go and see them and it's like only the really new experimental stuff from the current album.”

“My dad was ex-military, so I was raised to always know about current events, particularly what was going on with the military and government. And I always loved storytelling.”
