"By the age of 9 or 10, I knew that I had to cut my own cloth and make my own way." ― John le Carre Topic(s): Age More From John le Carre "Novelists are not equipped to make a movie, in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: they’re casting, they’re dressing the scene, they’re working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and they’re also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader." "I mean, I’m in the business of storytelling, not message making." "But I think the real tension lies in the relationship between what you might call the pursuer and his quarry, whether it’s the writer or the spy." More In Age "In order to fix Social Security, we must restructure it so that we continue to provide for our Nation’s seniors that are approaching retirement age, but allow for younger taxpayers to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes in private accounts."― Herman Cain "I’ve never been more in love with anyone nearly half my age than I am today. I’d get married in a minute if I weren’t still married to somebody else."― Rod Stewart "Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet."― Alanis Morissette
