Man plans. God laughs.

I love to make even villains people you can relate to. When you find out who did it, I think you almost like the person, which is not easy to do.

I'd never had money growing up, and it's never been that important to me, except maybe to take our kids on a nice vacation or something like that.

Frankly I'm fairly boring or fairly busy. Between writing and family, I have little time for anything else.

The first sip of beer on a hot day is like that first finger-dip when you open a new jar of peanut butter.

..."better to have loved and lost" bullshit. Don't show me paradise and then burn it down.

You don't worry about happiness and fulfilment when you're starving.
