To be successfull you need friends and to be very successfull you need enemies.

I'm a woman. I have a right to change my mind.

Another woman approached me while I was having lunch at the Russian Tea Room in New York and told me that the reason she had become a lawyer was because she had read 'Rage of Angels'. To me, that kind of feedback has more meaning than any sales figures.

I was scared. Do you know what it's like to hold someone else's life in your hands? It's like playing God. Can you think of anything scarier than that?

Because there was a hunger in me to see everything and do everything. I wanted to be everyone I saw. I wasn't enough for me. Can you understand that?

A blank piece of paper is God's way of telling us how hard it is to be God.

I go to great lengths to make certain situations feel right to the reader.
