I dont write books so that you can be fascinated with me. I write them so you can be fascinated with YOU!

I am a complicated person with a simple life and I am the reason for everything that ever happened to me.

Originality is not writing the story that has never been told, but writing the stories only you can tell.

The name of a great writer is usually bigger than the title of his book. Both literally and figuratively.

The artist must be like that Marine. He has to know how to be miserable. He has to love being miserable.

We see and tell about the myriad truths of how the universe is and might be. That's what we writers DO.

I didn’t need to be a writer to know that I could. Did you have to become a penis to act like a dick?

This world can be quite wonderful once you let yourself be a part of it. It’s on your side, you know?

I write because I love it, not because I excel at it.  But because I write, I shall slowly excel at it.

Writing is more than just a method to tell stories. It’s a way to find healing, and to healing others.

I haven’t had writer’s block. I think it’s because my process involves writing very badly.

A writer is the one who loves to write . . . on and about anything . . . And this clears that I am a writer!!

What a writer has to do is write what hasn't been written before or beat dead men at what they have done.

...when you're a writer, you become deeper and more uniquely distinct, the more you go inside yourself...

A good editor can make a respectable writer remarkable, just like a good parent helps a child become amazing.
