I like the idea of a writer being haunted by his own creation, especially if the writer resents the way the character defines him.

Do you wear a diaphragm everywhere you go?' I want to scream, but stop myself because the idea really excites me.

There’s no grand plan. All I know is that I write the books I want to write. All that other stuff is meaningless to me.

Completely committed to adapting 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. This is not a joke. Christian Grey and Ana: potentially great cinematic characters.

Life is like a typographical error: we're constantly writing and rewriting things over each other.

Writing fiction is an act of imagination and fantasizing, and it's not relating in prose what you've been doing for the last two or three years.

I come to a red light, tempted to go through it, then stop once I see a billboard sign that I don’t remember seeing and I look up at it. All it says is 'Disappear Here' and even though it’s probably an ad for some resort, it still freaks me out a little and I step on the gas really hard and the car screeches as I leave the light.
