"When I was at the Irish Times as literary editor, I felt that I had only one duty, which was to get people to read good books. Nothing else. Nothing else mattered. Everybody assumed that I had all kinds of agendas, that I was trying to get people, that I was trying to promote my friends … It's all nonsense. You don't work that way. I used to say to people, "Do you really think I have time to worry about you, and whether I should be out to get you?" It's just nonsense. Because, in my rather quaint, old-fashioned way, I believe in books. I believe they are a good thing. They're civilizers. "
