There is a certain androgyny to my appeal.

I don't appeal to everyone well. I appeal to fewer people in a much stronger way. That's what fandom is to me, and what creates fans for everything I make.

I can't analyse my appeal. If I did, I'd be in a straitjacket.

Because an appeal makes logical sense is no guarantee that it will work.

I'd like to have mass appeal, but not at the expense of what I am and what I do best.

I'm not going to appeal to violence or aggression - of course not.

You can write the best book you can, and that might still not be enough. Appeal isn't something that most writers can't strive for or identify. It's something even the best agents and editors can't always identify.

An appeal is when you ask one court to show its contempt for another court.

I want to appeal to everyone. Because I'm not saying I'm the best, but we the best.

I believe we should appeal to people at the higher levels.
