I try to find what makes even the worst, most despicable character sympathetic at his or her core.

I realized the only thing I owed my audience was my own judgment and my own best effort.

I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.

People who were more concerned with themselves and looking good to their readers then they were with the characters sacrificed a series for the sake of a story.

These days, it seems that if you're not already in place, you can't get there from here.

The villain is always more entertaining because he has fewer limitations. The hero is bound by honor, by justice and by the law, sometimes.

It all depends on which side of the desk you're sitting on.
