Live your life the way you want. You'll figure it out.
John Grisham
In life, finding a voice is speaking and living the truth. Each of you is an original. Each of you has a distinctive voice. When you find it, your story will be told. You will be heard.

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.
John Grisham
I've sold too many books to get good reviews anymore. There's a lot of jealousy, because [reviewers] think they can write a good novel or a best-seller and get frustrated when they can't. I've learned to despise them.
John Grisham
One thing that drives me nuts... well, let me ask you, when writers write do they not use quotation marks anymore?
John Grisham
Shame was an emotion he had abandoned years earlier. Addicts know no shame. You disgrace yourself so many times you become immune to it.
John Grisham
She was pondering the option of law school, the great American baby-sitter for directionless postgrads.
John Grisham
You need some coffee, don't you? Yes, I've only had a gallon.
John Grisham
I didn't dare think of the future the past was still happening.
John Grisham
Still, something about writing made me spend large hours of my free time at my desk.
John Grisham
There's always such a rush to judgment. It makes a fair trial hard to get.
