Robert Crais Quotes

If my vision was good enough, I’d be an astronaut Picture Quote #1

First and foremost I am a commercial writer, and I hope to entertain people. But having said that, I’m in love with the relationship between humans and dogs, and the more I learned about what our military working dogs are doing, I wanted to at least share with people what an important role these animals have in all our lives Picture Quote #1

When dogs fulfill their roles they are ecstatically happy Picture Quote #1

Dogs give us something just as we give something to them Picture Quote #1

I was digging for stuff in a used bookstore, and I came upon ‘Little Sister.’ I fell in love with Chandler that night. I fell right down the rabbit hole of crime fiction Picture Quote #1

Pike put down the cat. He slid from Pike’s arms like molasses and puddled at his feet Picture Quote #1

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work

You had me at hello

Everyone knows dogs. Most people love dogs. I think most American families probably have a dog, but I don’t think people really realize or understand just how wonderful and special dogs are Picture Quote #1

I began to encounter real-life stories of dogs protecting their wounded or dying or dead handler... or dogs refusing to leave the bodies of the people they were bonded to, sitting in cemeteries for days or sometimes weeks. You find these stories endlessly Picture Quote #1

I had a big Akita, Yoshi, who was fabulous. I loved him. We lost him when he was 12, and I’ve never been able to replace him. Normally, most people lose a pet and get another and keep going on. But it just felt wrong to me; it felt disloyal Picture Quote #1

At Lackland Air Force Base, they make an effort to retrain military dogs that suffer from PTSD. It’s a lengthy, long process. The treatment is much the same as it would be for people, but it’s a difficult road back Picture Quote #1

There’s the Hollywood sign; there’s Griffith Observatory; there’s the great, amazing Los Angeles Basin. It’s 465 square miles of insanity and the best food on the planet Picture Quote #1

No other animal bonds to a human being the way a dog does. And I suspect there is no other animal to which human beings can bond the way we can bond to a dog Picture Quote #1

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

I meant to behave but there were too many other options

Sometimes I am so dry that people don’t know I’m kidding and think I’m being serious. I enjoy this because their reactions are often funny Picture Quote #1

I had wanted to be a novelist for so long, but I didn’t have a story. That story came from the death of my father, and wrestling with how to help my mother. Writing it allowed me to work through my fears, frustrations and desires. I wanted control over the situation. And I wasn’t sure I would have any in real life Picture Quote #1

I think every writer of detective fiction writing today has been influenced by Mr. Parker. I’m of a generation that followed Robert Parker, and it was impossible to read the genre and not be influenced by him Picture Quote #1

My first job was cleaning dog kennels. It was especially, ah, aromatic during those hot, humid Louisiana summers, but it prepared me for Hollywood Picture Quote #1

I don’t think about the gender of my readers or about reader expectations. I’m frankly scared to. I figured out a long time ago that if I tried to guess the audience, it would be like me trying to guess which stocks to buy Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to sound good. All you do is leave in the parts where you act tough and forget the parts where you get shoved around Picture Quote #1

When we first met, i had no idea you would be so important to me

A girl doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her

I write characters and stories that move me, and I write from the heart Picture Quote #1

If my vision was good enough, I’d be an astronaut Picture Quote #1

People want you to be ordinary Picture Quote #1

Efficiency and focus are the keys to success Picture Quote #1

I love the fact that you collaborate with your readers when you write a book Picture Quote #1

The sense of smell in all dogs is their primary doorway to the world around them Picture Quote #1

Don't look back you're not going that way

Together is my favorite place to be

Adults always wonder what to say and how to say it when they’re talking to a child. You want to be wise, but all you are is a child yourself in a larger body. Nothing is ever what it seems. The things that you think you know are never certain. I know that now. I wish that I didn’t, but I do Picture Quote #1

She asked me why I always had something flip to say. I said that I didn’t know, but having been blessed with the gift, I felt obliged to use it Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to sound good. All you do is leave in the parts where you act tough and forget the parts where you get shoved around Picture Quote #1

Some of us find our way with a single light to guide us; others lose themselves even when the star field is as sharp as a neon ceiling. Ethics may not be situational, but feelings are. We learn to adjust, and, over time, the stars we use to guide ourselves come to reside within rather than without Picture Quote #1

Everything we are is anchored in our childhoods. The drama comes in how we deal with it. Are we slaves to our past, or can we rise above it? This is the stuff of great stories Picture Quote #1

I have these huge black foam boards on the wall, and tacked to them, I have these white punch cards with my story ideas, scenes and notes Picture Quote #1
