I write because the lives of all of us are stories. If enough of those stories are told, then perhaps we will begin to see that our lives are the same story. The differences are merely in the details.

Faith is not something that one has; faith is something that one practices at the very moment in your life when you really don't believe anything, and you're in the worst kind of despair.

Freeform radio is an art form. The airwaves are the empty canvas, the producer is the artist, and the sound is the paint.

We remember with our emotions. The things that were important in our emotional life, that's what we remember.

Books, and especially fiction, do not proceed from ideas. They are born from feelings

Each of us is comprised of stories, stories not only about ourselves but stories about ancestors we never knew and people we've never met. We have stories we love to tell and stories we have never told anyone. The extent to which others know us is determined by the stories we choose to share. We extend a deep trust to someone when we say, "I'm going to tell you something I've never told anyone." Sharing stories creates trust because through stories we come to a recognition of how much we have in common.

But I want you around even when I don't need you. —Jeremy Richards
