I do have fun writing, and a long time ago, I told myself, 'You got to have fun at this, or it'll drive you nuts.'

My purpose is to entertain and please myself. I feel that if I am entertained, then there will be enough other readers who will be entertained, too.

I don’t think writers compete, I think they’re all doing separate things in their own style.

I won't read a book that starts with a description of the weather. I don't read books over 300 pages, though I'll make an exception for Don Delillo.

There's nothing like work to take your mind off your worries.

Not dreams but night changes, not destiny but path changes, always keep your hopes alive, luck may or may not change, but time definitely chages.

Everyone has his own sound. I'm not going to presume how to tell anybody how to write.
