I think if I hadn’t been a writer, I’d have been a teacher like my dad. He was a college professor, and one of my greatest regrets is that he passed away before I was able to prove to him that I wasn’t going to be stuck working at Rax Roast Beef for the rest of my life! Picture Quote #1

Bespoke tailoring: yes! I found this one pair of pants - they’re Canali - and brought them into a tailor and said, ‘Clone these, dammit.’ They just do all the right things. I’ve got eight pairs in different colors and I never have to think about pants again. The only look otherwise that suits me is, like, the Professor from ‘Gilligan’s Island.’ Picture Quote #1

As an English major I was familiar with the stories of dozens of writers trying to get their work done among the multifarious diversions of the world and the hurdles of their own vices. A professor had said that what saved writers is that they, like politicians, had the illusion of destiny that allowed them to overcome obstacles no matter how nominal their work Picture Quote #1

I went to Brown to be a French professor, and I didn’t know what I was doing except that I loved French.

French, it just helps you if you’re in fashion. The French people started style Picture Quote #1

I didn’t feel comfortable at first with pure mathematics, or as a professor of pure mathematics. I wanted to do a little bit of everything and explore the world Picture Quote #1

People sort of accuse Tolkien of not being good with female characters, and I think that Eowyn actually proves that to be wrong to some degree.
