Alija Izetbegovic

Strong, Racism, Country

Gilbert Hernandez

Off, Until, Started

Roger Penrose

Mind, Book, Why

Gary Miller

Process, United, Industry

Ron Ben-Israel

Wedding, Today, Special

Aaron Stanford

Book, Whole, Idea

People are much more complicated in real life, but my characters are as subtle and nuanced as I can make them. But if you say my characters are too black and white, you've missed the point. Villains are meant to be black-hearted in popular novels. If you say I have a grey-hearted villain, then I've failed.
Ken Follet

Life, Real, Black

Laura San Giacomo

Dennis C. Blair

Scott Bakula

Business, Lie, Challenge

If you think of life and death on a continuum, finding the point where it tips is complicated. It cuts across all political lines and gets to the root of our humanity. It requires faith informed by years of intimacy that you're doing what's right for your loved one.
Eleanor Clift

Life, Faith, Death

Two people could build an outhouse in four hours. They're not complicated.
Robert Maxwell

Two, Four, Hours

There were two things going on: 1) I had already established in my own mind where I wanted to go with the next series, and having James around as a Grey Eminence would have complicated matters. He had had an amazing life and it was time to bid him good-bye.
Raymond E. Feist

Life, Time, Amazing

Writing for adults and writing for young people is really not that different. As a reporter, I have always tried to write as clearly and simply as possible. I like clean, unadorned writing.

Serge Schmemann

Writing, Different, Young

Jerry Leiber

Music, Work, Writing

I don't know if it's that my own childhood felt brief, or I grew up too fast, or I was pushing myself too much at a young age, but I do feel like I am clinging to a certain childlike quality in myself, as a result of a childhood that was sometimes complicated.
Shawn Levy

Age, Young, Sometimes
