If the response to 'Suite Francaise' is any indication, there's a great deal of curiosity about Nemirovsky, and the best way to deal with it is to produce another book. So much of her work has been unavailable, and we want to bring as much of it back into print as possible.

I am still convinced I have the best job in the world.

I'm a boring guy who's got a great job in a profession that still gives me a great deal of pleasure after 35 years.

I think I'm more marketing- and sales-oriented than others, and the notion of selling books continues to interest me.

There was a time, after I earned my graduate degree and before I sold my first novel, when it looked like I might have to get an office job.

Yes, I love the glamour industry. I love the work that I've done so far. But it's not as if I have this biting ambition to be at the top.

I think I've had the longest career of strength, focus, and still being able to sell records. I think I'm that guy. I'm still blessed with the opportunity to make music and pass out a message like, 'Life is good,' to the world.

I've been in a poor physical shape many times in my career and I've had some of my best results. My best performances happened because my mind was in the right place. The mind is definitely stronger than the body.
