“Artists are meant to be more human, not less so. And this must be a place of both rigor and pluralism. This must be a place of hard work and also compassion and camaraderie, This must be a place with the intellectual elasticity to conceive of, allow for, and even welcome a diversity of styles, approaches and ideas.”

“Stories were different, though: they came alive in the telling. Without a human voice to read them aloud, or a pair of wide-eyes following them by flashlight beneath a blanket, they had no real existence in our world. They were like seeds in the beak of a bird, waiting to fall to earth, or the notes of a song laid out on a sheet, yearning for an instrument to bring their music into being. They lay dormant, hoping for the chance to emerge. Once someone started to read them, they could begin to change. They could take root in the imagination, and transform the reader.”
