"I don't have a grand master plan, but I try to be thoughtful when I can and also silly. It's part of the fun."

It's part of a writer's profession, as it's part of a spy's profession, to prey on the community to which he's attached, to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters, whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely.

— John le Carre
