I cannot outline. I do not know what the next thing is going to happen in the book until it comes out of my fingers.

Next thing you know they'll take your thoughts away.

Do you all have a living room floor or a bedroom floor? Then you can write a book.

As soon as it sounds fine, I'm on to the next thing, man.

What inspired me to become an author? I think it was the snow in New York. I looked out the window and I said, 'Well, I have to get dressed every morning to go to teach, but if I write a book, I can stay home in my bathrobe, eat candy corn.'

I'm always hungry for the next thing. I'm never resting on my laurels.
