"Celebrities, even insignificant ones like me, are created to be abused by the Great Unwashed."

Previous Quote

Productivity is a relative matter. And it's really insignificant: What is ultimately important is a writer's strongest books. It may be the case that we all must write many books in order to achieve a few lasting ones - just as a young writer or poet might have to write hundreds of poems before writing his first significant one.
