Sometimes you have to look reality in the eye, and deny it.

I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.

All fiction comes from a little bit of reality, otherwise it would have no relevance. The fun is in innovation, take something real like this fair, and make it something larger than life.

I don't have a great eye for detail. I leave blanks in all of my stories. I leave out all detail, which leaves the reader to fill in something better.

A book is a gift you can open again and again.

Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough.
