Whenever you write, whatever you write, never make the mistake of assuming the audience is any less intelligent than you are.
Rod Serling
Image
The tendency when you dictate is to overwrite, because you're not counting pages, you don't really know what the hell the page count is.

You can become much more independent, much more courageous with a bank account. And also, much more independent and self-reliant when you know you have money behind you.

I don't have close relationships with agents. They're friends, but they're not confidants.

Good evening, and welcome to a private showing of three paintings, displayed here for the first time. Each is a collectors' item in its own way - not because of any special artistic quality, but because each captures on a canvas, and suspends in time and space, a frozen moment of a nightmare.

Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being.

If in any quest for magic, in any search for sorcery, witchery, legerdemain, first check the human spirit.
