I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.

It will progress as the year goes on.

Futurists don't consider overpopulation one of the issues of the future. They consider it the issue of the future.

I'm constantly trying to keep people guessing as to what I'm doing, and I will spend enormous amounts of time looking at manuscripts and asking questions, and people will say, 'I know what his next book is about.'

I would consider myself more a passionate centrist.

It's getting better. It's a work in progress, but we're fighting now in games instead of just laying down like we did sometimes last year.
