“I always think the most important thing for a writer is a deadline, and it's the same with a house. They say you shouldn't make an emotional decision with a house, but I think it is the only decision you can make.”

“I never knew anybody who didn't want to have a great love in their lives and to make a family.”

“I get very attached to places.”

“Journalist: a person without any ideas but with an ability to express them; a writer whose skill is improved by a deadline: the more time he has, the worse he writes.”

“With the movies, people are not going to wait around. The deadline is a deadline. In publishing it's more a polite suggestion.”

“Good intentions aren't enough. People have good intentions when they set a goal to do something, but then they miss a deadline or other milestone.”
