As a writer, my only responsibility is to tell a compelling story.

The main thing I wanted to say, and thankfully it’s what most people say they get out of the book, is simply an acknowledgement that we do affect each other in ways we can’t predict.

No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same.

You can hear rumors. But you can't know them.

You can't stop the future You can't rewind the past The only way to learn the secret ...is to press play.

I've always loved brainstorming with other writers, and I consider having my work critiqued a part of that brainstorming.

And at some point, the struggle becomes too much-too tiring-and you consider letting go. Allowing tragedy... or whatever... to happen.

You can't go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you really have is...now.

Everything...affects everything

After all, how often do we get a second chance?

In the end....everything matters.

Not even a repeat of Dawson’s Creek makes me feel better.

Every morning I look in the mirror and remind myself: "No one owes you sh*t!" In this way, I am never disappointed. Never placing blame.

There is no such thing as a bad book, I just like some books more than others…

Actually, my dog I think is the only person who consistently loves me all the time.

Turbulent, discontented men of quality, in proportion as they are puffed up with personal pride and arrogance, generally despise their own order.

When you're recording a TV show, you really feel like you're in a bubble.

...appetite turns common food into the fare of kings.

Just standing around looking beautiful is so boring.

Scientists try to discover or unravel the mysteries of nature. Some of the problems we are trying to solve have been solved in nature.

The only useful function of a statistician is to make predictions, and thus to provide a basis for action.
