“Writing is like baking cupcakes, you're trying to make something from the raw. Like with cupcakes it's flour and eggs and stuff, and with books it's ideas and words. The end result is the same though, you want people to eat them up.”

“I write for the same reason I eat chocolate - because it is, undeniably a compulsion.”

“You're only human. You live once and life is wonderful so eat the damn red velvet cupcake!”

“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! You tried to blow up your guardian angel?!""It seemed like a good idea at the time...”

“I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them.”

“You're a chain-smoking, alcoholic hyper-violent sociopath with daddy issues!""When you say it like that it sounds bad...”

“We’re on a tight leash. We gotta do things by the book so no shooting yourself or trying to blow me up this time.”“I thought we agreed that we weren’t gonna talk about that anymore.”
