I like European and South American literature, but mostly I read nonfiction.

I don't tell clients what to do. I don't even really tell them what the future is.

I believe in free will.

There's this resistance to actually talking to people who are smarter than you about things and I don't know why that is.

Most of what I do is for creative people - writers and painters and photographers - trying to work through creative problems.

My belief that the publishing industry is run by prigs and cowards dates back to many years before I even had the idea for the book.

A wild appreciation of men and women . . . who passionately and fearlessly and recklessly redefine romance. . . . The passionate creatures who refuse to play it safe and settle down now have an intelligent, like-minded advocate.
