I don't want to stand with somebody's praise.

That's the way I work. I get it all plotted in my mind, and then I write it down.

I always used to be an inside person, and now I'm an outside person.

I think people become consumed with selling a book when they need to be consumed with writing it.

In this life we love who we love. There were some stories in which facts were very nearly irrelevant.

I can write for any magazine now, in any voice. I can do it in two hours, I could do it in my sleep, it's like writing a grocery list.

There are, of course, people who didn't create the trouble they're in, but lots of them do.
