“I am a firm believer that a good plot makes for a fun enough read, but...” — V. E. Schwab Quote

“I am a firm believer that a good plot makes for a fun enough read, but it's not what binds us. If we don't care about the characters, we won't care - not in a lasting way - about what's happening to them.”

“As for advice for aspiring authors, the best I can give is to be brave. It sounds like a simple enough thing, but it's not. Rejection is such an integral part of this journey, and it never goes away.”

“I'd grown up an athletic child, a competitive soccer player since age 4, with stints ranging from months to years in gymnastics, softball, volleyball.”

“I'm a big believer in Spanx. I live in them.”

“I'm a great believer in outlines.”

“I'm a big believer in volume. If I made three times as many movies as Stanley Kubrick, that must mean I'm three times as good.”
