More quotes by John Grisham
When witnesses concoct lies, they often miss the obvious.
John Grisham
I don't want to force my politics on my readers.
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 was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.
John Grisham
More than 100 people have been sent to death row who were later exonerated because they weren't guilty or fairly tried. Most criminal defendants do not get adequate representation because there are not enough public defenders to represent them. There is a lot that is wrong.
John Grisham
I'm not in favor of the death penalty. But I'm in favor of locking these people away in maximum security units where they can never get out. They can never escape. They can never be paroled. Lock the bad ones away. But you gotta rethink everybody else.
John Grisham
I guess under the right circumstances, a man will do just about anything.
John Grisham
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am. My clients were little people fighting big corporations, so it was a natural thing to not only represent the little guy but also to pull for him - it's the American way.
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
After I'd been a lawyer for about five or six years, I started playing around with fiction.
John Grisham
Ten years from now I plan to be sitting here, looking out over my land. I hope I'll be writing books, but if not, I'll be on my pond fishing with my kids. I feel like the luckiest guy I know.
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
In little pockets of conversation, old men were telling stories of ancient floods. Women were talking of about how much rain there'd been in other towns -- Paragould, Lepanto, and Manila.
John Grisham
She was pondering the option of law school, the great American baby-sitter for directionless postgrads.
John Grisham
I've written 17 novels, and I've found out that fiction can't keep up with real life.
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
I learned that lesson a long time ago. When you write popular fiction, you're going to get bashed by critics.
John Grisham
I don't usually eat breakfast. I prefer to be asleep during the hours that it is served.
John Grisham
It's as if we spend our entire lives avoiding Jell-O but it is always there at the end, waiting.
John Grisham
If you're gonna be stupid you gotta be tough.
