When I finish a job, I surrender it completely. I have to, because after that, it really is out of my hands.

I know that all good things must come to an end and I've had an incredible ride. I just want to end it on the right note.

I work very deliberately, with a plan. But sometimes I come to a point that I planned as the end and it needs softening. Ending a novel is almost like putting a child to sleep - it can't be done abruptly.

I love going after what I want and not stopping till I get it.

You only get so much time to do something that you enjoy or love to do. If you can continue doing it, you might as well, because I don't want to live in regret. I don't want to be the person sitting behind a desk, wondering, 'Did I do it right, did I finish it off, did I really give it my all?'

I don't want to be satisfied with where I'm at or happy about what I've done. I want to keep pushing it.

I'm not qualified to do anything else. So there better be another job. I'm kind of stuck now. I'm enjoying my life and I'm enjoying my work, and I'm enjoying the fact that the work I'm doing is garnering some interest and that's great. I just hope that it continues.

Very often a job will come along that speaks to the place you're in as a person at that very moment. And usually once I've done it I feel like that part is over.

I keep on working when other people are out having fun. But I love what I do and find it hard to stop.
