I love Canada. It's a wonderful political act of faith that exists atop a breathtakingly beautiful land.

The moral of a fable is eternal. The moral of a story is temporary to a story.

Books are something social - a writer speaking to a reader - so I think making the reading of a book the center of a social event, the meeting of a book club, is a brilliant idea.

Reality is how we interpret it. Imagination and volition play a part in that interpretation. Which means that all reality is to some extent a fiction.

I'm happy pretty well anywhere on this big, beautiful planet.

I find that movies tend to fix the aesthetics of a story in people's minds.
