“I love the sound of words, the feel of them, the flow of them. I love the challenge of finding just that perfect combination of words to describe a curl of the lip, a tilt of the chin, a change in the atmosphere.

Fifty years from now, I imagine I’ll still be questing after just that right combination of words.”
