But that's part of faith. Believing and knowing despite what other people say, and despite what the world might think of your beliefs.

I can run fast when I want to run fast, and I've always been good at destroying things.

We did what our people do all the time, we told ourselves something we did was right and we found a way to justify it, even though we knew it was wrong.

I'm pretty good at compartmentalizing things and not allowing things outside of myself to distract me or bother me or affect me in any way.

I wanted to be a writer that had an impact. I wanted, and still I say the same thing, I want to write books that change people's lives, change how we think and live and read and write. I wanna write books that are read in 50 or 100 years.

More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to be close to someone. More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to feel as if i wasn't alone.

That's what ever great writer, I believe, has done over the course of time - is they've figured out new ways of telling the same stories.
