Nothing is written in stone. So don't prepare yourself for a long and lucrative career. You might die tomorrow. Your gold holdings might become dust. Just make the music you want to make now and enjoy it.

For a novelist, the great thing about the Stone Age people is that we know virtually nothing about their beliefs - which means that I get to make it up! But it's still got to be plausible.

I don't like things set in stone.

There's never a surefire good career move except doing good work.

Actually, the books were never a planned career path.

It's not like being a writer is a very lucrative career, but you know, you just know when you've found what you're really meant to do.

A career is like a house: it's made of many bricks, and each brick has the same value, because without any one of them, the house would collapse.

I couldn't see myself filling some definite niche in what is called a career. This was all misty.

If you don't have talent or preparation for whatever you want to do, you will not be successful in anything.

A career is a journey. I've been fortunate enough to work and be very successful over three decades, but I haven't achieved nearly what I want to achieve yet.
