You were never what I wanted to forget.

I understand that you can never have the whole picture; inevitably, there’s stuff you don’t know, can’t know. But when it comes to Cameron I always want more than I have, would like to be able to take hold of at least one or two more pieces, if only because I’m convinced there are parts of myself inside them.

I never had a connection like that to anyone, where every day you think about what you’ll tell them and you wonder what they’re doing, and you know they’re wondering what you’re doing.

I don't like to do too much psychological research because it might turn a character into a patchwork.

It's like a Venn diagram of tragedy.

I'm not really a plot writer - I'm more interested in the characters and sort of small events that propel the story forward.
