I hated school. I don't trust anybody who looks back on the years from 14 to 18 with any enjoyment. If you liked being a teenager, there's something really wrong with you.

The most important things to remember about back story are that (a) everyone has a history and (b) most of it isn’t very interesting.

I hardly ever read mainstream fiction that deals with life as it is. I like an element of fantasy, something that isn`t quite of the real world.

Things were going very fast now. Too fast to suit him. Fantasy and reality had merged.

This is how a man looks when he's deciding that the risk of death is better than the risk of change.

He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

A life without love is like a tree without fruit.
