The main thing is that you have a good editor - one that believes in you and who will give you the feedback that you need to produce a good book.

I am a struggling writer. A middle-aged man with two little kids and I'm just trying to earn a living. So buy this book - or my kids will have to go to foster care.

I think that the mere fact that I'm doing it ought to inspire someone. In junior high school the counselor suggested that I focus on wood shop and metal shop.

In some ways I'm still recovering from the trial. My health is not as good as it ought to be. I've gone back to practicing law and it seems to have taken a toll for whatever reason.

I think that as I continue to write, my writing I hope will become more controversial and more provocative.

The events of the day inspired me to become a lawyer.

I just did something on a show on UPN called "Girlfriends" that will be on television in February. I am actually a much better actor today than I was in 1996, believe it or not.

A lot of the evidence and some of the events you see in LA Justice are loosely based on real-life cases.

I began writing in the 4th grade. As a matter of fact, I produced a play for the entire school. It was about Leif Ericson and the discovery of America.

I'm real bent on dialogue. I'm just a little bit crazy and when you put that along with 20 years as a criminal lawyer, it's pretty easy to come up with some interesting plots.

All I can really say is it's bloodier than hell. In this one I'm going to be much more direct and honest in my description of the actual killings and the crime scene.

Life is like an Autumn short but colourful.

What differentiates victors and victims are visions and vigor. Victims won't get the vim to step out of their situations.

It maybe that we have all lived before and died, and this is hell.

Failure is a social taboo.

I love the creative process. That's always been the closest thing to my heart, creating something.

I would rather propose a bureau somewhat similar to that which we have in the Universal Postal Union.

I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another

The finest and noblest ground on which people can live is truth; the real with the real; a ground on which nothing is assumed.

Tales From Topographic Oceans is like a woman's padded bra.

Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality; if not, one has not lived.
