我写作是因为我不能尖叫。

I'm not a feminist. I hail men, I love men. I celebrate American male culture, and beer, and bars and muscle cars.

I'm the reason you're fed, I'm the reason you're led.

The past is not dead; it is not even past.

In this business, by the time you realize you're in trouble, it's too late to save yourself. Unless you're running scared all the time, you're gone.

Writing is a way of living, a way of surviving, a way of fighting against the absurdity of existence.

The coal industry must evolve or risk becoming obsolete. Adaptation is the key to survival.

The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible.

我不活在过去，我专注于现在和未来。

The writer’s challenge is to find the universal in the particular.
