Life was a pre-death experience.

Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently.

We [fiction writers] are much more of a maze than we are a motorway. Things are always in flux, they're always in movement, they're always twisting back on each other. I think the straight line is such a lie.

One thing I am certain of, I do not want to be betrayed, but thats quite hard to say casually, at the beginning of a relationship. It’s not a word people use very often, which confuses me, because there are different kinds of infidelity, but betrayal is betrayal wherever you find it. By betrayal, I mean promising to be on your side, and then being on somebody else’s.

Stories end in reverie, tragedy, or forgiveness.

Do it from the heart or not at all.

You never give away your heart; you lend it from time to time. If it were not so, how could we take it back without asking?
