Young men, hear an old man to whom old men hearkened when he was young.

I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.

Hasten slowly.

I don't enjoy eating humble pie; it never tastes good. But I do appreciate it when it happens.

Do you want to have a career that goes beyond, you know, 11 minutes in a 22-minute television show every week? Some people don't. That's fine.

The blues is losing someone you love and not having enough money to immerse yourself in drink.

A playwright must be his own audience. A novelist may lose his readers for a few pages; a playwright never dares lose his audience for a minute.

Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio.

There are some guys out here that can really play golf, but it has not been their focus for that long.

All my tattoos except my first were not planned. I would just go into the shop late at night with friends and ask for something on the spot. My first is my parents' wedding date. I thought it would soften the blow of getting a tattoo.

Our own interests are still an exquisite means for dazzling our eyes agreeably.

It's funny, one of my most solid carpet moments happened in the very beginning, before I started thinking that I needed all these other people to do my hair and makeup, and pick out my clothes. I wore a cheetah sweater and a red hat, and it's one of my favorite looks, even still.

Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.

When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.

My novels are never directly based on a true crime incident, but I want to get the details right. I want to know how homicide detectives think, what a SWAT team might do to prepare.

I've been competitive since day one. Even in little things as a child, like having a twin and a direct competitor for who makes better cookies.

I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense.

My work is about the world I live in. So, I sort of make a picture of my life or our lives. I'm always looking for something that is overlooked, so I need to constantly be aware of what's going on.

I'm just really a lazy homebody.
