Being a writer now is about so much more than writing. There's publishing, touring, marketing, web presence.

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.

To say that you can't see echoes of the past in what I do would be absurd. Everything that has preceded me has affected me.

I hadn't learned yet that everybody's locked up some way or other. That's how life is we're all imprisoned by something.

Faith is the fool's excuse.

The promise of eternal life makes people forsake the life they're given.

I have a great amount of confidence and faith in my abilities to write. There are other areas of my life where I'm not as confident, and have not as much faith, but when it comes down to writing and working, I don't worry about it. I trust myself to get it right.
