• I get some of my ideas from watching my three daughters, but most of them come from my own memories of growing up.

Those were the elements that made a story satisfying to me.

• You learn from music, from watching great athletes at work - how disciplined they are, how they move. You learn these things by watching a shortstop at work, how he concentrates on one thing at a time. You learn from classic music, from the blues and jazz, from bluegrass. From all this, you learn how to sustain a great line without bringing in unnecessary words.

• Ah! What avails the classic bent
  And what the cultured word,
  Against the undoctored incident
  That actually occurred?

  Through paint and prose and rhyme-
  When Nature in her nakedness
  Defeats us every time?

It's a classic matriarchal trait, and that's always been part of my personality.
