i write because it is the only way i can reach you.
No one touches me when I write my story, unless I hire you to or I allow you to.
I write fiction. I make things up, it's what I do.
Everything I know, I write about. My only research is what I did.
I am not much of a researcher as a novelist; I write mainly from experience.
I am always writing. It is not always good, but if I am writing, I am usually happy.
I shall live badly if I do not write, and I shall write badly if I do not live.
When I write, I see the character inside out, not outside in.
I love the paranormal, because there, every genre I write can become one beacon for my imagination.
I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well.

I always write back to people who are kind enough to write to me. Actually, I don't write - I recline on my red velvet sofa with my feet on the coffee table and dictate the letters to my eldest son.
When people asked me what I was going to do when I grow up, I always said, 'I'm going to be a writer. I'm going to write screenplays. I'm going to write books. I'm going to write plays. That's what I'm going to do.'

The smartest thing I did in law school: asking my future wife to go out dancing with me. The smartest thing I did when practicing law: quitting. The smartest thing I've done in writing: following my own head and writing what I wanted to write, and no...
Writing is writing. It's an abiding, wonderful talent, craft, gift that stays with you your whole life. And you can go in different forms, and you can try them. Look at me: I'm writing novels because I found something I love because I tried it.
