Nobody really lives in the present.

I really do literally put myself into a character's shoes.

I can't exist without books.

Many emotions go under the name of love, and almost any one of them will for a while divert the mind from the real, true, and perfect thing.

The worst has happened ... it's rather liberating.

I think to be driven to want to kill must be such a terrible burden.

I try, and I think I succeed, in making my readers feel sorry for my psychopaths, because I do.
