More quotes by John Grisham
The coffee arrives, and we backslide into what lawyers do best---talking about other lawyers.
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
After I'd been a lawyer for about five or six years, I started playing around with fiction.
John Grisham
When you work at street level you never know who's going to walk through your door.
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
Life is short..Live to the fullest.
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
I don't want to force my politics on my readers.
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
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.
John Grisham
And that's the mission of The Innocence Project in New York, is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted, and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions.
John Grisham
One thing that drives me nuts... well, let me ask you, when writers write do they not use quotation marks anymore?
