I am not a supporter of Israel's military policy, let alone any kind of Zionist.

I don't think I could, with a straight face, describe myself as a completely positive person, but I'm not overly negative, either. On the whole, most writers think plots through to their consequences, and it's not always a sunny place. I have an occupational temperament for anxiety.

There are seldom more than a couple of students in any workshop who seem natural writers.

The nature of fiction is to make one distrustful of any character who lectures and castigates.

Social media is kind of the same across the board, so you just have to know how to engage your audience, and you will be popular on any platform that comes up.

The open source nature of the Internet is both a blessing and a curse, because just as much as we can watch what's happening around the world, we can also be watched.

You need to have a lot of human judgment involved in the financial industry in terms of risk management, in terms of investment decisions, and things that really allow us to blend the best of technology and the human brain.

Social media is awesome because I can somewhat paint myself the way I want people to see me.
