Good ideas are often murdered by better ones.

I see people in terms of dialogue and I believe that people are their talk.

It's hard for me to measure them, or to assess my books because I'm so close to them.

The best way to reveal a character is to get them to open their mouths.

If you are a writer you're at home, which means you're out of touch. You have to make excuses to get out there and look at how the world is changing.

I tend to plan as I write. And I want to leave myself open and the character open to keep on going until it seems to be the time to stop.

I don't work to any commissions. I do what I want to do.
