Hardest thing: creating something out of nothing - the first draft is torturous.
Wally Lamb
I think I write fiction for the opportunity to get beyond the limits of my own life.
Wally Lamb

Wally Lamb
But what are our stories if not the mirrors we hold up to our fears?
Wally Lamb
If you want your prayers answered, get up off your knees and do something about them.
Wally Lamb
Its the most breathtakingly ironic things about living: the fact that we are all-identical twins included-alone. Singular. And yet what we seek-what saves us-is our connection to others.
Wally Lamb
I wanted to connect a modern story with a myth that I had read.
Wally Lamb
My Italian-American heritage, of which I'm very proud and with which I identify strongly, surfaces in several of my novels.
Wally Lamb
I try to find something that applies not to me only, but to others, but don't try to control it too much. Essentially it is about what moves us, teaches us about ourselves.
Wally Lamb
Human behavior in the midst of hardship caught my attention very early on, and my first stories were all pictures, no words.
Wally Lamb
Only there's two sides to every story, you know. You just remember that.
