“The deepest failures any fiction writer is likely to have are failures...” — Richard Russo Quote

“The deepest failures any fiction writer is likely to have are failures of not quite comprehending the truth of the story that he or she is telling.”

“If my career continues along its current arc, people will probably look at me and see a writer who is obsessed with the relationship between rich and poor and with how the rich somehow or other always manage to betray the poor, even when they don't mean to.”

“I'm delighted by how Nobody's Fool turned out. It was a rare movie.”

“One always writes comedy at the moment of deepest hysteria.”

“Families are the deepest, most screwed up relationships that we have.”

“The best writing really does come from the deepest, most private part of you.”
