Quote

Early on, he'd learned to enjoy simple things, things that couldn't be bought, and he had a hard time understanding people who felt otherwise.

She wanted something else, something different, something more. Passion and romance, perhaps, or maybe quiet conversations in candlelit rooms, or perhaps something as simple as not being second.

Oh yeah? What did you have last night? Turkey sandwich on wheat. With a pickle. And the night before? Turkey sandwich on wheat. No pickle. She giggled. What was the last hot meal you cooked? He pretended to rack his brains. Uh...beans and franks. On Monday.

God is out there watching you, even when you're away from home and that if you put your trust in God, you'll be all right in the end.

I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.

Summer romances end for all kinds of reasons. But when all is said and done, they have one thing in common: They are shooting stars-a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity. And in a flash, they're gone.

I guess I'm okay with that. But it's not going to be easy for you. They don't have a lot of fishing or mudding around here. I figured. And not a lot of beach volleyball, either. Especially in January. I guess I'll have to make some sacrifices. Maybe if you're lucky, we can find you some other ways to occupy your time.

Whenever I work on a film, I have three rules. Only three and I tell them to every screenwriter. I say let's retain the spirit and the intent of the overall story. Let's make it the best film that we possibly can.

Life passes by now like the scenery outside a car window. I breathe and eat and sleep as I always did, but there seems to be no great purpose in my life that requires active participation on my part...I do not know where I am going or when I will get there.

That’s the thing about life, he knew. There was always a but.

Love is a gift. You give love and that's where the joy is.

Why did you say you believed me ? In profile, he could see both the young woman she was becoming and the little girl he remembered. Because I trust you.

He was the kind of man everyone would fall in love with, even if they didn't want to.

The emotions attached to them were like sand castles in the tide, slowly washing out to sea.

What's the challenge in writing a novel that few people will read? I'm more than happy writing what I do and have no plans to change that.

If I tried to write long-hand, I suppose I'd never finish a novel. I edit too much as I write - the paper would be white-out and sharpie marks. Writing with a computer works for me, so I stick with it.

I cry to you, my Lord, my rock! Do not be deaf to me, for if you are silent, I shall go down to the pit like the rest. Hear my voice raised in petition as I cry to you for help, as I raise my hands, my Lord, toward your holy of holies.

I tend to be pretty efficient with my time. I work on a novel for four to five hours a day, and then the rest of my day is spent doing other things, whether it's spending time with my family, or going through and making notes on the script, or working on the marketing. It's just a matter of scheduling.

Believe it or not, I don't collaborate with women, though my agent and editor are both females. For the most part, they do little editing on my characters.
