My method is much like choreography. I don't sit at a table. I work in a room with people.

I'm like Jane Austen - I work on the corner of the dining table.

It really requires choreography,

I can't tell you how many times you sit in a draft room and people say 'what kind of tight end is he?' because there are very few guys that can block and catch. You can count them on one hand.

You can much better have an influence on the debate when you sit at the bargaining table and you can give input.

Censors are energetic and righteous people but they just couldn't work a room like Abbe Lane.
