You make the decision: Whom did God punish?

I may have ruined my life, but at least I got to eat some really good Chinese food.

My parents played bridge, and I remember being fascinated watching them. I sometimes got a chance to sit in on a hand, which I loved. But then I didn't actually play on my own for about 30 years.

I jog in the morning and then write for about two hours. There are times when I'm really excited and can't wait to get back to it. But there are days when I don't know what's coming next, and I really have to force it.

I think of a book and a play, or a book and a movie, as two separate things - I don't think of it as my novel having a new life.

Not everyone is as nice as us.

You're responsible for yourself. You messed up your life, and it's up to you to fix it. No one else is going to do it for you -- for any of you.
