More quotes by 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
There's always such a rush to judgment. It makes a fair trial hard to get.

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 cannot write as well as some people my talent is in coming up with good stories about lawyers.That is what I am good at.
John Grisham
So many book sections in newspapers and magazines used to be lively and vibrant places. Now they are gone. You just don't see many reviews anymore. I can't control that, so I don't worry about it. I just try to do what I do and write books that people find every entertaining. I don't worry about the critics.
John Grisham
Still, something about writing made me spend large hours of my free time at my desk.
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
You need some coffee, don't you? Yes, I've only had a gallon.
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
I was on the verge of tears, so I turned and ran past the trailer and along the field road until I was safely out of their sight. Then I ducked into the cotton and waited for friendly voices. I sat on the hot ground, surrounded by stalks four feet tall, and I cried, something I really hated to do.
John Grisham
I've written 17 novels, and I've found out that fiction can't keep up with real life.

I don't usually eat breakfast. I prefer to be asleep during the hours that it is served.
John Grisham
And they drank heavily, partied with great enthusiasm, and relished the drug culture they moved in and out and slept around, and this was okay because they defined their own morality. They were fighting for the Mexicans and the redwoods, dammit! They had to be good people!
