The desert loves me. I love the desert. It's nice to be in the heat in Africa. I love it.

I always thought that people who live in the desert are a little crazy. It could be that the desert attracts that kind of person, or that after living there, you become that. It doesn't make much difference. But now I've done my 40 years in the desert.

I've accompanied several dying people on their travels, and the desert seems to be a favored destination. It is very hot and dry and lyrical in its own way.

My mother's English, and she always was fascinated by the desert.

It is as pleasant as it is unusual to see thoroughly good people getting their deserts.

The desert is natural; when you are out there, you can get in tune with your environment, something you lose when you live in the city.

I like the desert for short periods of time, from inside a car, with the windows rolled up, and the doors locked. I prefer beach resorts with room service.

I'd had no particular interest in the Southwest at all as a young girl, and I was completely surprised that the desert stole my heart to the extent it did.

I've had a love affair with the desert ever since I can remember. No matter what I wrote - contemporary romance, spy thriller, high fantasy - it was going to have a desert in it.

What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
