My characters surprise me constantly. My characters are like my friends - I can give them advice, but they don't have to take it. If your characters are real, then they surprise you, just like real people

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.

A certain type of man, when he loves for the first time, his love is not really love, it is possession. Possessions don't have rights or feelings they are something to owned and controlled. He had spent more than a year trying to do just that, and failing.

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.

I hate being awake at three in the morning. It is the godforsaken heart of darkness when the body runs slow, and the brain runs slower, and all you want to do is sleep.

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.
