"Fiction is the lie that tells the truth truer."
"We often have to write three hundred pages before our soul discloses to us what it is that was waiting to be discovered."
"There's a battle going on inside all of us, why not acknowledge that this battle is what defines us as humans and start writing about how it feels to be in this perpetual battle?"
"Dangerous writing is not serial killers or speed-crazed race car drivers. What makes writing dangerous is something much more personal. To write dangerous is something much more personal. To write dangerous is to go to parts of ourselves that we know exist but try to ignore—parts that are sad, sore; parts that are silent, and heavy. Taboo. Things that won't leave us alone."
"Someone asked me once why I write and I replied, "Because I cannot speak and cry at the same time."
"I've always maintained that no publisher should make more money off of a book than the writer does. They publish thousands of books a year—but this is the only one (or two) I'm going to do. This also applies to the Amazons of the world. We the writers should be king of the hill because we provide the content."
