I don't work on a project unless I believe that it will dramatically improve life for a bunch of people.
How could you justify giving Holland twice the amount of money that you gave Belgium? Well, finally, I put it up to them. They said that they couldn't do it; it would destroy them. I said they had to do it. And I finally got support from Hoffman on it.
I approach writing stories as a recorder. I think of my role as some kind of reporting device - recording and projecting.
