Live your life the way you want. You'll figure it out.

John Grisham
It's as if we spend our entire lives avoiding Jell-O but it is always there at the end, waiting.

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.

After I'd been a lawyer for about five or six years, I started playing around with fiction.
John Grisham
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.
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 don't want to force my politics on my readers.
John Grisham
I've written 17 novels, and I've found out that fiction can't keep up with real life.
