“My total year's income from working as hard as I possibly could from writing went from like $30 one year to about $70 the next year. And it made me realize that maybe you couldn't really pay the rent that way.”

“I've had the same, full-time assistant and typist for eight or nine years now. She's read everything I've written, she types everything and does a good job, translates it and makes comments.”

“I got to spend all of my time every day at work reading and editing papers about cutting-edge technical research and getting paid for it. Then I'd go home at night and turn what I learned into science fiction stories.”

“My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough.' That became my mantra.”

“And my response is 70,000 people in the state of Maine that paid income tax in 2011 will not be paying income tax in 2012.”

“It's true that redistributing income to the needy is politically easier in a growing economy than in a stagnant one.”
