I don't think of my books as being biographies. I never had any interest in doing a book just to write the life of a great man. I had zero interest in that. My interest is in power. How power works. ↗

It's very easy to fool yourself that you're working, you know, when you're really not working very hard. I mean, I'm very lazy.
