“I don't think people are averse to thinking about things in a deep way, but we have limited time and opportunity to think about things in a deep way.

“When I see someone who reads something of mine and draws something out of it that's very different from my perspective, I think that's actually cool. Sometimes it's worrisome when you feel they badly misinterpret it, but it just says that they're thinking, and they're bringing their own interpretation to bear on it. [...] That's part of the wonderful thing about putting words into the world, and if I was worried about that, I couldn't be a writer.”

“You can't deny that religion has done some good. It organizes lots of anti-poverty programs and soup kitchens and missionary work.
