“A good story is a good story no matter who wrote it.”

“I have people constantly come up to me telling me that I have written their life. When I wrote the story I thought it was a pretty good story but I had no idea that many people felt like that.”

“Good stories are rarely true.”

“I really think as long as you have a good story that relates to a lot of people it doesn't matter what ethnicity it is.”

“That story, as all good stories, planted a seed in my soul and never left me.”

“The best stories don't come from "good vs. bad" but "good vs. good.”

“Sad stories make good books”

“Never underestimate the power of a good story.”

“The raconteur knows too well that, if he investigates the truth of the matter, he is only too likely to lose his good story.”

“A good story cannot be devised; it has to be distilled.”
