Quote

I've lost track of the number of people who want to be writers but never actually write anything. Talking about writing, dreaming about writing, can be very fun, but it won't get a book written. You've got to write

Feelings are never stupid, they just make us feel stupid sometimes.

Twenty-three stories up and all I could see out the windows was grey smog. They could call it the City of the Angels if they wanted to, but if there were angels out there, they had to be flying blind.

What's your name? Donald. Hi, Donald, missed you at the wienie roast.

Readers respond to every genre intensely, if it's a genre that appeals to them. Again, who can say why anyone enjoys horror and dark fantasy? If I can't answer the question for myself, I wouldn't dream of trying to answer it for others

That was the problem with loving people: it made you weak. It made you need them. It made the thought of not having them the worst thing in the world.

When I was younger, I'd wanted someone to promise me that things would work out and nothing bad would ever happen again. But I understood now that that was a child's wish. No one could promise that. No one. The grown-ups could try, but they couldn't promise, not and mean it.

Patience is a virtue, but there comes a moment when you must stop being patient and take the day by the throat and shake it. If it fights back fine. I'd rather end up bloody at the end of the day, then unhurt with no progress made, no knowledge gained. I'd rather have a no, then nothing. I'd forgotten that about myself.

Anything under size five isn't a woman. It's a boy with breasts.

Sometimes it's not the optimist you need, but another pessimist to walk beside you.

For me the Anita series is built like a mystery series, which means that as much as possible each book stands alone, so you have a mystery to solve from the beginning to the end of the book.

Love is too precious to be ashamed of.

Perfection is an unattainable goal. It isn't going to be perfect. Just get words down on paper, and when you stumble to what you think is the end of the book, you will have hundreds of pages of words that came out of your head. It may not be perfect, but it looks like a book.

It always amazes me how many women like dangerous men. Men who almost from the moment you meet them, you know are bad news. Me, I prefer my men kinder, gentler, nice. Niceness is highly underrated by most people.

It has been my experience that women tell more intimate details to their friends than men do. Men may brag more, but women will talk the nitty-gritty and share the experience more.

You lie like butter wouldn't melt in your mouth, Edward. He smiled. I don't lie to you. Really, I said. The smile became a grin. Okay, not most of the time, anymore. His face sobered. I'm not lying now.

Zerbrowski said, I only ever understood one woman, and she was kind enough to marry me so I didn't have to decipher anyone else.

I'm not afraid of heights, but the idea of falling from them, well, that I'm afraid of.
