It's part of a writer's profession as it's part of a spy's profession to prey on the community to which he's attached to take away information – often in secret – and to translate that into intelligence for his masters whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely.
We have an incredible warrior class in this country – people in law enforcement intelligence – and I thank God every night we have them standing fast to protect us from the tremendous amount of evil that exists in the world.
