Quote

I never thought about what I would write. I just come from such a big family of storytellers.

I'm not embarrassed about the novels I wrote when I was younger, but I couldn't write them today because of my religion.

I begin every novel with the vow that I will not write about technology, Catholicism, or Hell. As you know, I end up writing about all three. They just happen to be personal obsessions of mine.

There's more fiction in my life than in books, so I don't bother with them.

I don't care about writing really.

It's hard to imagine my life not writing. I love it.

When people know I wrote 'Thelma and Louise,' they don't want to mess with me.

I was never interested in writing novelizations. I'm still not. Especially not for 'Star Wars.'

Really, when I write a book I'm the only one I have to please. That's the beauty of writing a book instead of a screenplay.

I didn't want to write a book. They made me do it.
