I don't believe in writer's block. I don't know what that is. There are just certain little areas that I know I'm going to get through. It's just a matter of finding a way.

To me, a book is a book, an electronic device is not, and love of books was the reason I started writing.

I used to be able to write five pages a day, every day, no problem. Now a good day is five or four pages, and that's from 9:30 A.M. until 6 P.M.

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

A pen connects you to the paper. It definitely matters.

I get letters. I get several a week, I think. A lot of people want a picture, a lot of people just want an autograph.

I don't get in a position to be frightened. I don't do anything dangerous, and I always pay my bills.
