Writing, and especially writing a novel, where you get to sit in a room by yourself with either a pen and a paper or a computer for a couple of years, is a very solitary occupation. You can read sales figures - a hundred thousand books sold, half a million books sold - but they are just numbers.

The magic of comics is that there are three people involved in any comic. There's whoever's writing it and whoever's drawing it. And then there's whoever's reading it because they are creating the movement. They are creating the illusion of time passing.

It doesn't matter that I can't remember the details any longer: death happened to her. Death happens to all of us.

I hope the strong women out there aren't quiet and they don't go away, because when people attack you for speaking, the best way to drive them nuts is to smile and carry on speaking, louder, more wisely, more intensely, more articulately than ever.

A short story is the ultimate close-up magic trick -- a couple of thousand words to take you around the universe or break your heart.

Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here.

Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.

I really don't know what I love you means. I think it means Don't leave me here alone.

I liked myths. They weren't adult stories and they weren't children's stories. They were better than that. They just were.

I'm one of those writers who tends to be really good at making outlines and sticking to them. I'm very good at doing that, but I don't like it. It sort of takes a lot of the fun out.

We do not always remember the things that do no credit to us. We justify them, cover them in bright lies or with the thick dust of forgetfulness.

Her other mother smiled brightly and the hair on her head drifted like plants under the sea.
