00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
I'm always conscious of trying to use the time that I have to write as fast as I can,

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.480
because I think we're in bad shape as a group of people, as a nation of people.

3
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:17.360
I mean, I am just so frightened about what's going to happen in the world, you know, and

4
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:20.880
all of this about who's got the bomb and who's going to use it and who's hiding what and

5
00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:21.880
all of that.

6
00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:27.480
I think that as a writer with a consciousness, the energy that I have to have to do the work

7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:32.960
that I do is something that I guard jealously, because I really feel that unless those of

8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:38.680
us who can see a different way to live together can begin to put those ideas out as strongly

9
00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:42.720
as the people who think war makes sense, then we're going to die.

10
00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:43.720
Then we're all going to be gone.

11
00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:47.680
Then we're going to have the kind of world where, you know, children are growing up shooting

12
00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:49.000
each other when they're six years old.
