Every artist needs canvass, mine just happens to be Microsoft Word and a Thesaurus.

Never judge a person until you've walked a mile in their busted up shoes and haven't had any money for medication for two weeks.

I don't need to write a memoir of my life. All you need to do is read one of my books. I'm there.

All writers are different, each have their own artist way they go about telling a story. The only thing they have in common, is they write.

I would say about 80% of my writing (including posts and blogs), has to do with unresolved anger and that's just fine with me

It's simply impossible for me to filter my thoughts and feelings. I tell it from my point of view. I'm an open book.

It's okay to be crazy as long as you keep writing and are happy.

Can I possibly be a good writer if I'm not healed form the story I'm telling? Will I be able to go deep enough if people find out the truth?

I'm really just playing when I write. I feel like I'm a kid again. I want my characters to do and say things like when I played with dolls!

I had a very funny and depressing talk with my seventy-four-year-old mother. I decided, she doesn't have a bucket list - she has a kick-the-bucket list.

Why do writers write? Why do actors act? Why do painters paint? It doesn't pay much, unless you're very successful. It's who we are.

God is a book I can no longer read.

Death is just the last scene of the last act.

One cannot worship the false god of nationalism and the God of Christianity at the same time. .

I believe the best way the Enemy gets to you is when you don't have a full understanding of how amazing, beautiful and valuable you are in Christ!

What's past is prologue, and the world awaits.

I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is, nothing is more boring, people like this. For me, it's OK. But most of my friends, at least they smoke and drink.

People always say to me, "What if it doesn't work?" If it doesn't work, we redouble our effort. We're not going to cry like a bunch of babies. We're going to redouble our effort.

I don't even think when I'm walking down the runway. I don't really breathe either.

If you saw me every day, you would actually think I am wearing the exact same gray suit.

The unique essence of being an artist is dying. Eveything looks the same. Now there’s a formula. And it works. - But it takes away from the reason we do it.
