I'm just going to write my books and do my work and release it. Let the world decide what it is, and if it's any good or not.

There is no fear. Absolutely no fear. When one lives without fear, one cannot be broken. When one lives with fear one is broken before one begins to live.

I don't speak with proper grammar. I don't speak with dialogue attribution. I don't speak with quotation. I don't care about any of that stuff. It's about rhythm, and it's about what's in their [the character's] head, and what feels more natural. And it's about speed. I want things to move.

Ive never had any interest at all in being a journalist or writing some sort of historically accurate autobiography.

Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don't think you can, hold on.

It's been great getting better with you.

Trauma is survivable, but often not much more. It kills you while allowing you to still live.
