AUTHOR EXTRAORDINAIRE

'With film, you have very limited tools to convey subjectivity - voiceover, the camera's point of view, good acting - but even the very best actor in the world is crude by comparison with what you can do in a written paragraph.'

'As a novelist, where do you go to tap into memories, and impressions, and sensations? It's usually, in my experience, your early life, before you started thinking of yourself as a writer, because somehow those experiences are unadulterated.'

'To be a successful writer, you have to read all the time, live with a pen in your hand, and put words on paper with dogged determination.'

'Writing is an act of bravery, as it requires the vulnerability to share one's innermost thoughts and emotions with the world.'

'The world is filled with stories waiting to be told; a writer's job is to listen and give them voice.'

'Writing requires discipline and dedication, but the joy of creating something out of nothing is incomparable.'

'Imagination is the engine of creativity.'
