"The novel is the most democratic of art forms."
I don’t fear anyone, but I respect everyone.
My mind is my weapon. My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer, and I have my mind... And a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.
The thing about life is that you never know what's going to happen next.
"Writing is a way to confront the chaos of the world."
