Mike Mills

Great, Freedom, Film

It can be dismaying, all the same, for a novelist to compare the slowness of the writing with the speed of the reading. Novels are read in a matter of days, even hours. A writer may labor for weeks over a particular passage that will have its effect on a reader for an instant - and that effect may be subliminal or barely noticed.
Graham Swift

Writing, May, Same

Reggie Watts

Life, Help, Through

Josh Silver
