“While I am absorbed by fiction, I pull the strings like a puppeteer; I make things happen. It's a passion and a lifelong obsession.”
“How can I bribe my tongue to speak as truth the things my heart so contradicts. Attach to me then your strings and pull and I shall dance and be your puppet…for a time”
“I am not ultimately interested in writing fiction. I can't make things up. Or rather, I can only make things up about things that have already happened.”
“Coincidence is merely the puppeteers’ curtain, hiding the hands that pull the world’s strings.”
“The one who pulls the puppet strings knows fairytales can heal.”
“What are we (I ask) but puppets in a show-box? Oh, omnipotent Destiny, pull our strings gently! Dance us mercifully off our moserable little stage!”
