"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."

"The glory of a good tale is that it is limitless and fluid; a good tale belongs to each reader in its own particular way."

"It is the tale, not he who tells it."

"A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar."

"Outlines are the last resource of bad fiction writers who wish to God they were writing masters' theses."
