"Getting the big things right that make all the money, that's long cycle, really executing in a way that allows you to do it, that's short cycle."

Previous Quote

Despite the war, and bombings, and all the big things that happen to us, the stuff of our lives is small and always will be. During a war it is different, but even then, it is perfectly possible to write novels during a major war, which are about those thing which endure. It is what makes us human and the thing which is going to keep going.
