If you read all the time what other people have done, you will the think the way they thought.

If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don't know how to read, you don't know how to decide. That's the great thing about our country - we're a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.

People know that I am a very good author. But they would rather read what I have to say about the next election.

If the critics are right that I've made all my decisions based on polls, then I must not be very good at reading them.

Once you publish a book, it is out of your control. You cannot dictate how people read it.

I think that if you write what you love to read, that will be what your audience wants to read, too.

I write what I'd like to read and just hope that, along the way, others might like to read them, too.

I defend the right of almost everything to be published... because I think that you're better off in trusting the marketplace than allowing other people to make that decision.

I am the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.
