I am ever fascinated by the human experience and by, actually, human beings.

[My] Books are like puppies and children: you love each one for different reasons. I don't actually have a favorite because, if I were honest, I'm always more excited about what is coming.

If you are sitting there waiting for someone to tell you how wonderful you are, you'll never get anything done. Women need to get over being women. I'm tired of that socialization of women; that we are always supposed to be sitting around pleasing somebody.

We love because it's the only true adventure.

There are things you stand up for because it’s right.

You must be unintimidated by your own thoughts.

Fanatics are, for one thing, boring and, for another, unreliable. They tend to burn out just when you need them.
