Avoid prologues: they can be ­annoying, especially a prologue ­following an introduction that comes after a foreword.

I have fun writing. I don't make it a chore. I don't have to struggle with it.

To me, writing is the most fun. It's not always fun, but finally when you make it come out the way you want, it's then you can say, 'It's fun, boy.'

It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to sound like it does.

I'm not going to write for posterity. I'm going to write to make a buck.

Bad guys are not bad guys twenty-four hours a day.

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.
