I always knew I wanted to be a writer. I just wasn't sure what I wanted to do as a money-making job.

I had an interest in Scandinavian countries because I'd never seen snow.

People speak of the fear of the blank canvas as though it is a temporary hesitation, a trembling moment of self-doubt. For me it was more like being abducted from my bed by a clown, thrust into a circus arena with a wicker chair, and told to tame a pissed-off lion in front of an expectant crowd.

Most writers are drawn to what is unknown, rather than what is clear in any tale.

I realized this is what God has dealt me, and I should be thankful considering all that's happened to me in my life, but MS caused the movies to stop - stop dead - and I miss it.

Ah, I am thinking people put more in their prayers than was ever put in them by God.

If you go forward in the spirit of the original apostles and followers of Jesus Christ, trusting not in man but in the living God, he will enable you to pull down the strong holds of sin and Satan, and that work by which he is pleased will prosper in your hands.

I've always been a religious guy, but not overly religious. I've always believed in God and Jesus. I pray.
