"American people are not evil. Given information, they will do the right thing. But they're not given the information."

For an author, the nice characters aren't much fun. What you want are the screwed up characters. You know, the characters that are constantly wondering if what they are doing is the right thing, characters that are not only screwed up but are self-tapping screws. They're doing it for themselves.

— Terry Pratchett
