Are we biology or God or something higher? I know my heart beats and I listen to it. The beat is biology, but what is the song?

I don't write with an outline. I don't often know what I'm going to do as I'm writing. And I do everything by feel and by instinct.

To write a damn good thriller, you need a killer attitude.

Whatever hardships there have been in my life I still live in a very privileged position. Fear is not knowing where your next meal is coming from. Fear is seeing a child get hurt. Fear is watching someone you love waste away. Fear is knowing you are going to die yourself. But there's no fear in what I do. I write books.

I don't speak with proper grammar. I don't speak with dialogue attribution. I don't speak with quotation. I don't care about any of that stuff. It's about rhythm, and it's about what's in their [the character's] head, and what feels more natural. And it's about speed. I want things to move.

But we are what we are, and humans will always hate.

I regretted making a comment about Dave Eggers. I’ve never said anything about McSweeneys except that I admire what it is, and I think it’s great that they keep people interested in literature.

I love the process of being alone in a room.

Sleep is still difficult I sleep for three or four hours a day. Usually sometime in the afternoon. I walk in the cold, keep myself numb. I cry less, and less. (James Frey, pg.88)

But that's part of faith. Believing and knowing despite what other people say, and despite what the world might think of your beliefs.

There are no categories in contemporary art. There are no rules. Artists are given the freedom to make and create whatever they please and call it whatever they please. I identify with that system, or lack of system, much more than I do the landscape of contemporary publishing.

I try to write books that are different from the books I've already written. I think one of the thing I really try to do is reinvent how a novel can be written.

A miracle is changing someone's life. Freeing them from whatever bonds them. Giving them the gift of being able to live the way they dream of living.
