The difference between people who believe they have books inside of them and those who actually write books is sheer cussed persistence - the ability to make yourself work at your craft, every day - the belief, even in the face of obstacles, that you've got something worth saying.
To be frank, my belief is if you just keep your head down and work, and you have the fortune to be successful, there really aren't moments that change you.
We have good security. It's hard to get in here. Barring a tactical entry where terrorists come in and hold us hostage, that's about the only thing that could possibly warrant me carrying a gun in the clubhouse.

I always point out to my Passover guests that the Hebrews were not living in isolation.
