If you don't go to a dance you can never be rejected but you'll never get to dance either.

I remember watching myself on video and being so disappointed with myself because I was constantly moving around the place and laughing. I thought, 'I must be so much louder than I think I am. From inside it feels fine.'

Never mind money; the gifts of time and skill call into being the richest marketplace in the world.

I'm mainly an airport author, and if you're trying to take your mind off the journey, you're not going to read 'King Lear.'

Money doesn't make you happy, but it gives a zone of comfort around you.

I have great family and good friends; the stories I told became popular, and people all over the world bought them.

All I ever wanted to do is to write stories that people will enjoy and feel at home with.
