"And one of the nice things that happens - it doesn't happen that often when you're writing, is that when you're writing a scene, say between characters, where you can get the feeling that all you're doing is eavesdropping, and the characters are doing the talking. And you're just jotting it down as fast as you can -- you're not making up dialog. The characters have a life and they're talking, and you're just recording. Now, again, that doesn't happen that often. But when it does it's a marvelous moment -- when you'll be able to do that." Norton Juster in an Interview by RosEtta Stone
