The fans that I have met so far have been nothing but supportive and extremely passionate about the books. I feel so honored to meet all these people. Something like this, which I think is bigger than anyone in the film, it's pretty crazy.

You want fans to connect to the book, even movie fans. But if your sole purpose is to write towards a certain kind of fan, that way leads madness.

I'm hopefully making the reader feel a lot about the characters and then about their own life.

People forget that writers start off being readers. We all love it when we find a terrific read, and we want to let people know about it.

I'm an appreciator. I love all kinds of books, and I want others to love them, too.

I am very lucky: not very many writers can say they genuinely like the film of their book. However, I do.

People - me included - want to get excited about books. Good books are a good thing.

Just as good books give me the joys of being alive, bad novels depress me, and as I notice this sentiment coming from the pages, I stop. I also do not hesitate to walk out of a movie house if the film is bad.

I've never really been satisfied with a book. I always want it to be better.

I don't think with any book you get used to people falling in love with the story. It's been incredible just to realize your books are being read. It's a pretty amazing feeling.
