“All these years I've had a story in my mind, the story about us that never really existed. And because of that story, I've kept you framed up on the wall in a little box of nostalgic moonlight.”

“Every story I've written was written because I had to write it. Writing stories is like breathing for me; it is my life.”

“Maybe the reason I've never died in this story is that I've never had something worth dying for before.”

“I've heard the story about the woman who opened the box and let havoc grab a choke hold on the world.”

“My life story is the story of everyone I've ever met.”

“Stories? We all spend our lives telling them, about this, about that, about people … But some? Some stories are so good we wish they’d never end. They’re so gripping that we’ll go without sleep just to see a little bit more. Some stories bring us laughter and sometimes they bring us tears … but isn’t that what a great story does? Makes you feel? Stories that are so powerful … they really are with us forever.”
