There are lots of other things that I haven't done, places I haven't seen. So eventually I'll have to find time for those things while there still is time.

Now, when I was in the Army, writing was my hobby.

But I've found that to talk too much about movies is the kiss of death. If it happens then it happens, is all.

A literary critic is someone who can't write, but who loves to show he would have been a wonderful writer if only he could!

German readers are much like Brits or Americans: They read for the thrill of it, the occasional shudder down the spine, knowing it's not real - but looking over their shoulders anyway, just in case.

But other vampire stories? Well, no, I really haven't read too many, and I can't say I'm crazy about romantic vampires anyway - to me the vampire is simply an evil monster.

The Army was my bread and butter.

And I have to consider myself fortunate, because there are plenty of writers who spend most of a lifetime looking for that certain something without ever finding it.

I have friends who read my books in Greek.

Writers are in the entertainment business, and it gives me lots of pleasure to entertain my readers.

We've got one life and the older we get the more we come to realize how short it is.

I may have not done History in high school but War cannot be ended by endless talks, only Cold War.

Remembering that moment stirs something inside -- anger, at first, and then a deep, hollow sadness that ripples through me in its own spiderweb pattern.

I have no illusions about my looks. I think my face is funny.

The patchwork nature of the forms are a reflection of sexuality itself.

To get to be somebody who gets to love what they do for a living, that's so rare, and so there must be some kind of price you have to pay.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

As we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually.

All I know is that I am not a Marxist.

I don't think anything I've done with Adidas has been shifted. It's been part of the Pusha T brand, has for sure been organic and natural.

I'm not a big guy anyway. I'm only, what, 150 pounds? I was 190 for 'Batman,' 179 for 'Warrior.' Films make you look big.
