You have to realize, in real life, the gun battle lasted for over three hours, and the movie's only two hours long.

Marcus Luttrell

The notion of a writer sitting in a library doing research isn't what I want. The research I love doing isn't found in a book.

Those are things I've done to research my stories. Marcus Sakey

On my walks, that's when the good ideas come.

That's when the really big breakthroughs come in, and it's very strange. Maria Semple

I was staying at the Konchucos Tambo lodge, next to the Huascaran national park, near Chavin. Sitting here on its veranda, I was beginning to see where all those Latin American magical realists get their inspiration from: they don't need to make anything up; they just write down what's around them. Mark Barrowcliffe

Culturally, it's really funny to me that people respect the weird guy as an artist.

Mark Foster
