More quotes by John Grisham
In my case, once you sell a lot of books and you are labeled a bestselling author, the serious critics are never gonna say anything nice about you.
John Grisham
I give off rather mixed messages about the law. On the one hand, I can honestly say I don't miss working in a law office. On the other hand I do enjoy watching the law and while the profession may have its problems, I have sold zillions of books out of magnifying them.
John Grisham
I don't usually eat breakfast. I prefer to be asleep during the hours that it is served.
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
I'm alone and outgunned, scared and inexperienced, but I'm right.
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 am currently reading, The Broker by John Grisham. it is alittle slow to start so I will have to let you know if it gets better
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.
John Grisham
I don't want to force my politics on my readers.
John Grisham
Jesus preached more and taught more about helping the poor and the sick and the hungry than he did about heaven and hell. Shouldn't that tell us something?
John Grisham
I guess under the right circumstances, a man will do just about anything.
John Grisham
The coffee arrives, and we backslide into what lawyers do best---talking about other lawyers.
John Grisham
Very few writers understand the complex history and maddening social order of the Mississippi Delta. For Steve Yarbrough, though, it's home turf. He is wickedly observant, funny, cynical, evocative, and he possesses a gift that cannot be taught: he can tell a story.
John Grisham
I struggle with racism every day
John Grisham
I looked at her and tried to speak, but all I could think about was how shocked she'd be if I said what I was thinking.
John Grisham
How could homosexuals possibly srew up the sanctity of marriage any worse than heterosexuals?
John Grisham
Nobody wants to read about the honest lawyer down the street who does real estate loans and wills. If you want to sell books, you have to write about the interesting lawyers - the guys who steal all the money and take off. That's the fun stuff.
John Grisham
When you work at street level you never know who's going to walk through your door.
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 was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.
