I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.

I do a job I really, really love and I kind of have fun with. People think you can't be grown up unless you're moaning about your job.

Writing, at least a craft and at its best an art, aspiring to the unique, is the most difficult to learn.

Do what you say you're going to do. And try to do it a little bit better than you said you would.

What is a man if he is not a thief who openly charges as much as he can for the goods he sells?

I want them to make peace with the love of God.

Im hoping that a lifetime of compromise and disappointment will read as extra depth and layers in my work.
