Quote

I look at composers and conductors, anybody involved in music or writing or art in general; they got more done as they got older. If I can, I'll be one of those people because what I do is my passion.

My job is essentially that of an entertainer, no different to that of a musician, no different to that of an actor. I just happen to be an author.

I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.

I'm a writer; I'm a producer. I've certainly spread myself over a lot of different careers.

I like working closely with artists. I think that's very important in fantasy and science fiction - the visual aspect of the worlds and the characters.

From my experience as an actor, choreographer, action director, and producer, I understand the elements and the dynamics of being a film maker.

From an artist's point of view, I always want to work with the writers I admire.

I can obviously relate to a character who is an artist, because the creative process is a big part of my life.

Before I began concentrating on writing, in my free time I was an artist, making and selling etchings illustrating stories based on my readings in classical literature.

Some people are painters, and some are ballet dancers, and I'm a writer.
