I Look At My Job As Looking

I Wrote A Letter To The Magazine [time Magazine] Pointing Out That [richard] Corliss's Comparison Of Christopher Lee's Saruman To Osama Bin Laden, And The Vastly Outnumbered Defenders Of Helm's Deep United Against The Orcs To The "coalition Of The Willing" Fighting The Good Fight Against Muslim Hordes, Displayed The Simplistic, Xenophobic, And Arrogant Worldview That Makes The Government Of The United States Feared And Mistrusted Around The World. The Editors Claimed They Had No Space To Print My Brief Letter, Which I Felt Was Dishonest And Cowardly.

When I Land In A Country And They Ask For 'occupation,' I Always Just Put 'artist.' I Think That Covers All Of It.

In A Way, Editing Is Not Unlike The Movies. The Best Books, Just Like The Best Movies, Are A Collaboration. They're Only As Good As The Compromise Made Between The Artists Involved.

It's Just Like With People. You're Going To Get Along Better Working With Them - Human Or Equine - If You Ask Politely Rather Than Demand That They Do Things.

Kids Are Shy And They Often Don't Want To Make Eye Contact Or Say "thank You."
