If I had problems, I kept them to myself. I didn't make a scene.

I saw that my best work was my most personal work, which is odd, because my fiction is very far afield and has nothing to do with my life.

It's easier to love a woman when you can't understand a word she's saying.

We are taught to be suspicious, especially of anyone who might not look like us or share our beliefs.

He doesn’t know to want for more because nothing in his life has been as much as this...on that night he thinks that no one has ever had so much and only later will he know he should have asked for more.

You can't be a good person when you're writing and a bad person to your husband or a bad friend.

My writing process has changed because it's harder to find uninterrupted time.
