When I think of the books I love, there's always a little laughter in the dark.

I'd pretty much given up hope of being published, so I just wrote the book I wanted to read.

I am becoming increasingly difficult to please as a reader, but I adore being surprised by a really wonderful book, written by someone I've never heard of before.

I think you get so wrapped up in the book you're currently writing, it's hard to think about anything else. But I know as soon as I'm done with this book, I'll move on to something else.

It's such a joy to talk to a roomful of people who have read my novel and are eager to talk about it.

The only joy I had was writing what was. That book was. It no longer amuses me to be all the things I was when I wrote that. But it is my story as I was then.

I read serious books, but every now and then, I read just for fun.

The bewildering success of my books continues to surprise me.

I don't really read books. Wish I did.

When I was a kid, I read books that made me laugh but also made me shiver in terror. I wanted to make books that made other people feel the same way.
