Doctrines provide an architecture for both Republican and Democrat presidents to carry out policies.

You talked about national identity cards and the terrorism bill. We have made a government that has grown used to viewing us as subjects, has grown used to seeing its role as commanding us.

I think many articles in the New Yorker have a strong point of view, but they are so rigorously fact-checked. I wouldn't call them objective, but they feel fair.

London has the advantage of one of the most gloomy atmospheres in the world.

Don't avoid the cliches - they are cliches because they work!

To be alive and to be a ‘writer’ is enough.
