Writing has never been that simple for me Picture Quote #1

But no one walks out of his family without reprisals: a family is too disciplined an army to offer compassion to its deserters Picture Quote #1

Every industry is going to be affected (by the aging population). This creates tremendous opportunities and tremendous challenges Picture Quote #1

American men are allotted just as many tears as American women. But because we are forbidden to shed them, we die long before women do, with our hearts exploding or our blood pressure rising or our livers eaten away by alcohol because that lake of grief inside us has no outlet.

We’ve pretended too much in our family, Luke, and hidden far too much. I think we’re all going to pay a high price for our inability to face the truth Picture Quote #1

To describe our growing up in the lowcountry of South Carolina, I would have to take you to the marsh on a spring day, flush the great blue heron from its silent occupation, scatter marsh hens as we sink to our knees in mud, open an oyster with a pocketknife and feed it to you from the shell and say, ‘There. That taste. That’s the taste of my childhood.’ Picture Quote #1

Red Hook Road made me happy, and happy to be alive. It took me out of my home on the coast of South Carolina, placed me in the town along Red hook Road, and changed me the way good books always do Picture Quote #1

I never read my reviews... not even the good ones. Barbra Streisand once told me, if just one person in the audience doesn’t applaud, it bothers her. I’m the same way. I’d be devastated to read that someone didn’t like my work Picture Quote #1

When I was 5 years old, my mother read me ‘Gone With The Wind’ at night, before I went to bed. I remember her reading almost all year Picture Quote #1

Fear is the major cargo that American writers must stow away when the writing life calls them into carefully chosen ranks Picture Quote #1

A novel is a great act of passion and intellect, carpentry and largess. From the very beginning, I wrote to explain my own life to myself, and I invited readers who chose to make the journey with me to join me on the high wire Picture Quote #1

When my novel ‘Beach Music’ came out in 1995, I had included a couple of recipes in the book and had tried to impart some of my love of Roman cuisine and the restaurants of Rome Picture Quote #1

To Southerners like my mother, ‘Gone With the Wind’ was not just a book; it was an answer, a clenched fist raised to the North, an anthem of defiance Picture Quote #1

I’ve always believed that dreams were both the love letters and the hate mail of the subconscious Picture Quote #1

I loved my parents... but that can never change the fact that my father’s violence ruined my childhood Picture Quote #1

The great thing about all my siblings is we all agree we had a horrendous childhood. It’s not like it doesn’t affect us now; it affects us every day, in everything we do Picture Quote #1
