No, if there's any ultimate redemption, it would be because I passed though your life without scarring you, and did not diminish who you are.

From time to time, I do consider that I might be mad. Like any self-respecting lunatic, however, I am always quick to dismiss any doubts about my sanity.

If I waited until I felt creative, I would never have had a career. I long ago learned that a day that starts out badly, when nothing comes out on the page or comes out wrong, can suddenly turn into a good day a few hours later, when suddenly everything starts to click.

There’s just something unsettling about studying your reflection. It’s not a matter of being dissatisfied with your face or of being embarrassed by your vanity. Maybe it’s that when you gaze into your own eyes, you don’t see what you wish to see—or glimpse something that you wish weren’t there.

In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience.

Fate cannot be sidestepped or outrun.

If dogs talked, one of them would be president by now. Everybody likes dogs.

Books were this wonderful escape for me because I could open a book and disappear into it, and that was the only way out of that house when I was a kid.

Every human being has appetites difficult to control but far fewer have humility, gentleness, and an awareness of their weaknesses.

I kind of build a novel the way marine polyps build a coral reef, it's millions and millions of little precarious bodies stacked on one another. And in my case, that's thousands of minutes I go through to get from one scene to the next and build it that way.

I believe in the possibility of miracles but, more to the point, I believe in our need for them.

Home is the first refuge from - and last defense against - the disappointments and the terrors of life.
