The quality of gifts depends on the sincerity of the giver.

But we cannot unbraid the story of another person’s life and take out all the parts that don’t suit our purposes and put forth only the ones that do.

I am the person who is appropriating stories that are not mine and turning them into a book.

If you're trying to find out what's coming next, turn off everything you own that has an OFF switch and listen.

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

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

I believe, in my better moments, that there is a plan and things go not the way we want them to but the way they should.
