Quote

Books are humanity in print.

My books are based on observing others, not myself.

With each book I write, I become more and more convinced that the books have a life of their own, quite apart from me.

Books allow you to see the world through the eyes of others.

I try to picture my books being acted out.

I get to show the reader the essence of the book without giving anything away.

I love it when people want to interpret my books.

I always have a book that I use that somehow inspires my novels.

So, whenever I'm writing, I'm writing in the presence of all the other books I've read and I think we all are.

For some of us, books are intrinsic to our sense of personal identity.
