I'm still learning my craft.

Every book I've written has been a different attempt to understand something, and the success or failure of the previous one is irrelevant. I write the book I want.

The language of prose is very different than the language of cinema, so the movie has to successfully translate what was in the book.

Any writer will be happy and good only if they know what they're doing and why they're doing it.

God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he'll be there.

I remember 'the me generation,' which people thought was sort of a passing phase. But it seems to become a way of life now, and when me is at the center of everything, I don't think that you need to go out of yourself and ask God to save your soul or anything along those lines.

It is the creative potential itself in human beings that is the image of God.

I still marvel at how God turns dreams into reality.
