“I never discuss a novel while I'm writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it.”

I think it's perfectly just to refuse service to anyone based on behavior, but not based on race or religion.
There's sometimes a weird benefit to having an alcoholic, violent father. He really motivated me in that I never wanted to be anything like him.
I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.
In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience.
