I always write the best that I can. And I won't publish it until I have done it right.

I always had good students.

I love thrillers. I would even read certain science fiction, although I haven't been a devotee for many years.

Let's look at what the books are that are being produced. More and more they are being made like movies. To sell. They are being tested out.

I'm not a philosopher. I am the next thing to a jock, which is a novelist.

Stephen King has the exact ability that Charles Dickens had. To get to his readers in spite of or despite anything the reviews say.

I get to meet writers, and I love writers.
