The recipe for great art has always been misery and a good bowel movement.

Creativity and intelligence, rather than violence, are the best problem solvers.

I write fiction. It may have mystery, it may have horror, it may have fantasy, it may have love, but like life, it's all the same genre.

Regarding the creative: never assume you're the master, only the student. Your audience will determine if you're masterful.

Keep being bold on the page, and in life, and people cannot ignore you forever.
