You Need A Reason To Be Sad.

I Think Of A Book And A Play, Or A Book And A Movie, As Two Separate Things - I Don't Think Of It As My Novel Having A New Life.

You're Responsible For Yourself. You Messed Up Your Life, And It's Up To You To Fix It. No One Else Is Going To Do It For You -- For Any Of You.

I Write In The Mornings, Two Or Three Hours Every Day, And Then At Least Four Times A Week I Play In A Duplicate Game At A Bridge Club. I Try To Go To Tournaments Three, Four, Or Five Times A Year.

In A Way, It Made Him Sad. He Couldn't Help But Think That A Hundred Times Zero Was Still Nothing.
