You have the health you deserve.

Fiction happens in the womb. It doesn't get processed in the mind until you do the editing.

I love fiction because in fiction you go into the thoughts of people, the little people, the people who were defeated, the poor, the women, the children that are never in history books.

At the most difficult moments of my life, when it seemed that every door was closed to me, the taste of those apricots comes back to comfort me with the notion that abundance is always within reach, if only one knows how to find it.

The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.

Before I start writing, before I have an idea of where and when the story happens, I research it thoroughly.

The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing.
