You're not like the others. I've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon.

Why live? Life was its own answer. Life was the propagation of more life and the living of as good a life as possible.

You don’t question Providence. If you can’t have the reality, a dream is just as good.

You're either in love with what you do, or you're not in love.

Kids love me because I write stories that tell them about their capacity for evil. I'm one of the few writers who lets you cleanse yourself that way.

You either have an imaginative mind or you don't. All of my writing is God-given. I don't write my stories - they write themselves.

Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.
