"The world is a cacophony of voices, and it's the writer's job to make sense of it."

"A book is a collaboration between a writer and a reader. The writer provides the words, but the reader provides the meaning."

"I believe in the power of words, and I believe in the power of stories."

"We are living in an age when the word ‘blasphemy’ has become a weapon."

"I have always believed that stories are how we make sense of the world, and how we change the world."
