More quotes by Terry McMillan
I'm more interested in interpersonal relationships - between lovers families, siblings. That's why I write about how we treat each other.
Terry McMillan
I try to create characters that I am fascinated by on some level or intrigued by or can't stand.
Terry McMillan
I love writing in first person more than third. I have to basically suspend my own world. I don't exist. I'm just a conduit. So I can be eight years old. I can be the mother of a kid that you find out certain things I'm not going to say.
Terry McMillan
Cruising the Internet doesn't count as writing. Neither does answering e-mail. Before you check Twitter & FB and do other similar tasks that get in the way of writing, write first. (I really need to take my own advice here!)
Terry McMillan
I was tired of chasing ghosts, hollow men who were outside my comfort zone, men who had nothing to give me except a rush. It was all I asked for, and all I ever got.
Terry McMillan
I let my characters do the talking, simple as that.
Terry McMillan
I want to push the fast-forward button until I get back to happy.

Terry McMillan
What I do know is sometimes we love the wrong people and sometimes we marry them.
Terry McMillan
At least be a nice lesbian or you're going to give the rest a bad rap.
Terry McMillan
happiness aint got no Ph.D. or no certain amount of zeroes behind it!
Terry McMillan
Parents can ruin children, and sometimes that's a learned behavior. Sometimes you can't blame your parents for it, sometimes you can. I think to me, that's what the whole paradox is, is people that have children that don't even know how to raise them.
Terry McMillan
don't sabotage your own greatness by succumbing to failure!
Terry McMillan
Good parents have children who do terrible things and vice-versa.
Terry McMillan
The best rush in the world is getting something at 80 percent off.
Terry McMillan
I like doing the readings and the autographing, but the interviewing gets a little tedious because you get asked the same questions every day and sometimes three or four times a day.
