But the thing I’m finding out is some people don’t really appreciate it when you’r trying to be helpful.

I only work on my books at nights and at weekends. It is really just like a hobby.

My advice to authors would be to try to do something original rather than to try to anticipate what the market is looking for.

Monkeys can't talk, stupid!

I labored for eight years thinking that I was writing a book for adults that was a nostalgic look back on childhood. Then my publisher informed me I'd written a children's book.

It's not easy to writing thank-you notes for the stuff you didn't want in the first place.

The only reason I get out of bed at all on weekends is because eventually I can't stand the taste of my own breath any more.
