"I've been a screenwriter for twenty-five years. Every one of my books have been optioned for movies and I have written a few of those screenplays."
Movies
"I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told."
Time
"I really feel like the gift is also the curse. It's always half-and-half. Whatever brings you the most joy will also probably bring you the most pain. Always a price to pay."
Joy
"Anyway, the sort of love that will not wait is probably best to pass by."
Love
"Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows. But they are the ones who weep when you're gone. Who miss you every single night, especially when the sky is so deep and beautiful, and the ground so very cold."
Love
"I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes."
Growth
"Ironically, now that my children are older and gone quite a bit, I find it harder to work when they're not around. Too much free time!"
Work
"I think love is a huge factor in fiction and in real life. Is there a risk? Always. In fiction and in life."
Life

Reading
"After a while, the characters I'm writing begin to feel real to me. That's when I know I'm heading in the right direction."

"All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. Anything else is sentimental drivel.All of them?Sure, he says. Think about it. There's escaping from the wolves, fighting the wolves, capturing the wolves, taming the wolves. Being thrown to the wolves, or throwing others to the wolves so the wolves will eat them instead of you. Running with the wolf pack. Turning into a wolf. Best of all, turning into the head wolf. No other decent stories exist."
