All education is self-discovery.

Every story I've written was written because I had to write it. Writing stories is like breathing for me; it is my life.

Hollywood was a good influence because I was madly in love with films, and the films had a direct influence on me.

And besides, I like to cry. After I cry hard it's like it's morning again and I'm starting the day over.

Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.

Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.

I have my favorite cat, who is my paperweight, on my desk while I am writing.
