The early bird catches the worm. But I have never been one for worms. I am not sure what the late bird catches, but I will feast with him today. Probably porridge.

Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.

It's possible to do both as a writer - to engage and have a family and all that good stuff - and I chose not to for the sake of the career.

We don't know how much we are capable of loving until the people we love are being taken away, until a beautiful story is ending.

The trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. And there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if I actually believe these things I have to do something about them. It is so, so cumbersome to believe anything. And it isn't cool.

Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.

When a relationship is right, it is no more possible to wake up and want out of the marriage than it is to wake up and stop believing in God. What is, is what is.

I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago, because a mind was made fo figure things out, not to read the same page recurrently.

I don't read a lot of inspirational books for life. But for writing, I think the two best books are The War of Art and William Zinsser's On Writing Well. I read a lot of classics.

When I started studying the issue and issues related to fatherlessness, I realized I had all of them. Fear of intimacy, fear of commitment, poor work ethic, just stuff that you don't have when you don't have a man in your life to look you in the eye and say, You're good, or Good job.

People are lonely. They want company and your book can provide them company and a little bit of hope. And there's nothing wrong with that.
