In my heart, I am American, and I believe I have a free will and can take charge of my own destiny.

I believe in the American Dream because I have lived the American Dream.

When I start writing these novels, I go into them with a spirit of inquiry rather than to substantiate prejudices I had in the beginning. If you don't do that, you can't write good characters.

The American dream is about freedom.

Never stop believing, have your own happy end.

If you cannot see it, you will not be it
