John Grisham
You burn a man's pickup, and he's ready for war.
John Grisham

John Grisham
You need some coffee, don't you? Yes, I've only had a gallon.
John Grisham
I guess under the right circumstances, a man will do just about anything.
John Grisham
I always do book signings with the same blue pen. That way, if I add a personalised message to a book I've already signed, it'll be in the same colour as my signature.
John Grisham
I can't change overnight into a serious literary author. You can't compare apples to oranges. William Faulkner was a great literary genius. I am not.

I'm alone and outgunned, scared and inexperienced, but I'm right.
John Grisham
How could homosexuals possibly srew up the sanctity of marriage any worse than heterosexuals?
John Grisham
I still enjoy the process of writing. If I ever feel like I am going through the motions because I can sell anything at this level, I hope that somebody, somewhere who I trust will tell me to take a break and stop because it's sounding old. But so far, I don't feel like I'm boring anyone.
John Grisham
Because I was single, there was a chance I was a homosexual. Because I went to Syracuse, wherever that was, then I was probably a Communist. Or worse, a Liberal. Because I was from Memphis, I was a subversive intent on embarrassing Ford County.
John Grisham
My decision to become a lawyer was irrevocably sealed when I realized my father hated the legal profession.
John Grisham
My mum was never too keen on TV, so we kids all went to the library and got books out. Right from the start, I loved the works of Mark Twain. Every time I read about Tom Sawyer, I'd go out and do something low-level naughty, just like him.
John Grisham
Still, something about writing made me spend large hours of my free time at my desk.
John Grisham
I don't want to force my politics on my readers.
John Grisham
I don't start a novel until I have lived with the story for awhile to the point of actually writing an outline and after a number of books I've learned that the more time I spend on the outline the easier the book is to write. And if I cheat on the outline I get in trouble with the book.
John Grisham
I've written 17 novels, and I've found out that fiction can't keep up with real life.
John Grisham
We cuss them because we're not good enough for them. We hate them because they wouldn't look at us, couldn't be bothered to give us an interview. I guess there's a Trent & Brent in every city, in every field. I didn't make it and I don't belong, so I'll just go through life hating them.
