Quote

There are books on our shelves we haven't read and doubtless never will, that each of us has probably put to one side in the belief that we will read them later on, perhaps even in another life.

One thing I've learned now is that I should not say when a book is coming out until I'm sure I know.

You never know how - or when - the idea for a book will appear.

If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.

You no longer have much in the way of knowing what to do in a big, epic novel about the future, because nobody knows what the hell is going to happen.

You never know what you will learn till you start writing. Then you discover truths you never knew existed.

It's true that I have spoken about doing a book before, but then everyone you speak to is planning to write a book.

Well, I'm a big believer in 'never say never.'

If I ever wrote a book, people would never believe it.

I always say that, for me, writing a book is like a wacky Greyhound bus trip - I know where I'm starting and where I'll end up, but I have no idea what will happen along the way.
