- Writing a bestseller instantly makes an author suspect in the eyes of critics.
- I am no philosopher. I like to think but I'm not deep. I'd like to write better, to do more sensory writing, better description. I try to write stylistically, but I'll sacrifice a good sentence for a good paragraph
- I have ideas that interest people. I tell stories and readers are hungry for stories. What a lovely thing it is to sit down for three nights and be carried away by a book.
- Maybe all my endings are wish-fulfillment. Maybe it's an anti-death thing. If I let the characters be tragic, dead or without hope, then I'd die too.
- To be one's self, and unafraid whether right or wrong, is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity.
