A story is not like a road to follow...it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows.

Challenge the status quo, but respect the wisdom of those who came before you.

I don’t like to be labeled. I like to be free.

The world needs more love, less hate.

I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am.

The act of writing is an act of courage.
