In non-fiction, I like Wayne Dyer. I have a compilation of his best quotes near my bed! To me he's one of the finest authors.
When in my writing lair, I have no access to the Web. Otherwise, I'm like one of those lab rats on too much sugar. To compile my Google searches would be to see my sludgy, allusive brain at work.
I do think there is this danger that our society has made its peace with decline. I'd like to jolt them out of their complacency a little bit.
Are we like late Rome, infatuated with past glories, ruled by a complacent, greedy elite, and hopelessly powerless to respond to changing conditions?
I don't like sitting around and not doing anything because that's the easiest way to get complacent and get lazy.
Neurotics complain of their illness, but they make the most of it, and when it comes to talking it away from them they will defend it like a lioness her young.
A lot of people don't enjoy their jobs, and it's one of the main things we like to complain about.
I like to complain and do nothing to make things better.
My momma wasn't a weak person and she wasn't a complainer. So I don't wanna be like that.
I'm not a complainer. I'm a doer. So if I see something is wrong, then I feel like I have to get in there and try to fix it.

My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I'm quite like that in real life as well.
The only thing I don't like about acting is that it takes so much time away from my family. Otherwise, I don't have any complaints.
Because Olivia Newton-John wasn't from Nashville, they didn't like her winning our awards. I've got no complaints.
I like it when two sounds complement each other but are way different on a record.
Skiing fast feels like complete freedom to me.
I don't like feeling like it's not up to me when I'm working and when I'm not. Not feeling complete freedom... that's frustrating.
With each piece I've completed I have worked to make it intact, and each of them has been an equal high. It's like children. A mother refuses to pick out one as a favorite, and I can't do any better with the dances.
Completing a book, it's a little like having a baby.
During my years at the synchrotron laboratory, I had become interested in the theory of quantum electrodynamics and had decided that what I would most like to do after completing my dissertation work was to probe the short-distance behavior of the electromagnetic interaction.
