I think readers' imaginations are far more powerful than anything you can put on a page and, therefore, can conjure up graphic images for themselves, which I think you just have to nudge them towards.

I try not to picture a reader when I'm writing. It's like trying to make a great table but not picturing anybody sitting at it.

A visual image is a simple thing, a picture that enters the eyes.

I learned just recently, in fact, that a lot of people who read do not form a visual image from what they're reading. They just don't. They follow the events and get the resonance with the language, but they have only a vague, general idea of what the characters look like.

I'm more of a visual person, but I think that reading's extremely important. But I'm very easily distracted. It takes certain books to really grab you in.

Digital platforms are worthless without content. They're shiny sacks with bells and whistles, but without content, they're empty sacks. It is not about pixels versus print. It is not about how you're reading. It is about what you're reading.

As a visual storyteller, a lot is learning what to include so you're not being redundant between images and text.

It is much simpler to buy books than to read them and easier to read them than to absorb their contents.
