People without hope not only don’t write novels, but what is more to the point, they don’t read them. They don’t take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage. The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience.

I know all my different formulas to get certain sounds. I've been doing this so long that I don't experiment anymore. Or let me rephrase: I've been doing this so long that I don't have to experiment as much.

It seems that's where Bill Clinton came in last night because he told this long story about how they met with Hillary Clinton, how he courted her, how he bought a house to convince her, I think after the third proposal, to actually marry him.
