You are the same person in every aspect of your life, and you have to be a responsible person in every aspect of your life.

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

I craft everything in the beginning. I know where the characters are going before I start writing the book.

The love between humans is the thing that nails us to the earth.

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

Sometimes not having any idea where we’re going works out better than we could possibly have imagined.

If I was a waitress, I was too tired at the end of the day when I came home to try to write.
