Louis Sachar

"It's like it's all inside me just kind of trying to get out.  If I talk about it, it diffuses it, lets it out, and then maybe it wouldn't be as clear to me, or the characters wouldn't jump out of the page.  The dialogue wouldn't just jump out if I talked about it with people and they said, 'Oh yeah, that part's good, that part's...'  It's better for me to just keep it all bottled up and let the pressure build."
