...OK: I had a lot of pent-up feelings about the election in 2000, especially as time went on. Ultimately, what I want the book to say is that all of the people we live with-the different ethnicities, genders, in different parts of the country-we are all in it together. I really believe that people who think the things that I think, and the people who have deep-seated evangelical Christian beliefs, are the people who need to be talking to each other...
...OK: My parents worked at home. But it's not as if I grew up in some sort of writing factory. My parents were just parents, and that happened to be their job. They worked while I was at school, so they were just my parents when I came home...
...OK: I grew up in a house with a rich storytelling tradition. I think that's a big part of my life growing up, but I'm not overeager to elaborate on it.

...OK: What Rumsfeld said on that occasion was so bizarre. There's almost a strange poetry to his prevarications. They're so amazing. You can listen to him all day, because he's so detached from any kind of reality as you or I might see it. I have no idea what he's talking about half the time; I don't think that he does, either. It's sort of this weird free association that he does. I thought it was a very telling quote about things in our world today...
