More From Claire Messud

My father always said 'there's no free lunch.' my father was right. there's no free lunch and there's no free market. the market is rigged, the market is always rigged, and the rigging is in favour of the people who run the market. that's what the market is. it's a bent casino. the house always wins.

A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.

The middle east would always be an important trading partner in just a market sense, like america is a big market for us, asia is a big market, europe is a big market. you are going to have hundreds of millions of consumers there, from just a standard market point of view, from a very narrow american point of view.

It's as if scientists exert every effort of will they possess deliberately to find the least significant problems in the world and explain them. art matters. happiness matters. love matters. good matters. evil matters. slam the fridge door. they are the only things that matter and they are of course precisely the things that science goes out of its way to ignore.

I believe in market economics. but to paraphrase churchill - who said this about democracy and political regimes - a market economy might be the worst economic regime available, apart from the alternatives. i believe that people react to incentives, that incentives matter, and that prices reflect the way things should be allocated. but i also believe that market economies sometimes have market failures, and when these occur, there's a role for prudential - not excessive - regulation of the financial system.

Real writers-that is, capital w writers-rarely make much money. their biggest reward is the occasional reader's response.... commentators-in-print voicing big fat opinions-you might call us small w writers-get considerably more feedback than writers. the letters i personally find most flattering are not the very rare ones that speak well of my editorials, but the occasional reader who wants to know who writes them. i always happily assume the letter-writers is implying that the editorials are so good that i couldn't have written them myself.

When you are acting in a film, you have no idea what scene the editor is going to choose. for instance, after you have directed, you feel more comfortable delivering a performance. because you know the real performance is put together in the editing room.

Writing is like a little hole in reality that you can go through and you can get out and you can be someplace else for a while.

I think that people are going to find more interest in the human condition, especially with them being weaned on so much reality television. they want character driven stuff along with real violence. cage fighting is very popular with the kids right now. they see and know what one punch can do to someone's face. you can't give someone five hundred punches in a film anymore.
