Quote

'Star Wars' novels that focus on a single character are few and far between.

I'm not writing great literature. I'm writing commercial fiction for people to enjoy the stories and to like the characters.

There's more fiction in my life than in books, so I don't bother with them.

I never really saw myself as writing science fiction anyway.

I don't read a great deal of fiction, to my shame, other than the classics.

I wanted to be a writer, but the idea of writing novels or movies seemed really intimidating. I never got more than a few pages into one.

I haven't done the Star Wars kind of films.

I write science fiction for people who don't read a great deal of science fiction.

I didn't need to write historical epics, no, or science fiction, though I read a lot of science fiction as a kid and rather liked it. But I didn't have the mentality.

I don't generally read a lot of fiction.
