When you're a writer, you're always looking for conflict. It's conflict that drives great stories.

Conflict drives fiction; no one wants to read a four-hundred-page novel in which everything rolls along smoothly.

At the heart of drama is conflict.

Drama usually has some sort of intense conflict.

I think that internal conflict works very well, because, after all, all the best drama is fuelled by conflict.

I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff.

I love it when my books cause controversy, when people argue violently about the ending.

It's that drama that drives authors, you know.

There's conflict in every story.

A book becomes something else once it's dramatized.
