“Most writing doesn’t take place on the page; it takes place in your head.”
“A balanced argument is one that takes place entirely in my head, and doesn’t cause me to tip over.”
“The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.”
“No better stress reliever than to sit down and write! Let your imagination take you to other places and another time!”
“I thought to myself, 'why not write a bestseller?' In the first place, more people buy them and more people read them. You make more money and it doesn’t take any more time to write a bestseller than it does to write a book nobody buys.”
“Good writing takes place at intersections, at what you might call knots, at places where the society is snarled or knotted up.”
