"An ending says something about the story and the characters. It also says something about you the author."
"You'll know if the ending works. You'll know because you're happy with it. It's that simple."
"In every character I write, there's a little piece of me. And they're all interesting to me, enough that I would write a book about them ... It's exciting to imagine being different people."
"A story has many threads: character arcs, themes, ideas, plots, and so forth. A good ending ties up most of these. The best ending ties them all up."
"Character matters more than anything else."
"If elements of my own life sift themselves into the plot, it's because they feel organic to the story I am telling—a story that distinctly belongs to the characters and not to me. I try to listen to the demands of the story and stay true to them."
