I am happy to say that everyone that I have met in my life, I have gained something from them; be it negative or positive, it has enforced and reinforced my life in some aspect.

Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.

Bob Hope

My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor, my mom an actress, and both singers, dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.

Melanie Griffith

People ask me how I do research for my science fiction. The answer is, I never do any research.

Frederik Pohl

Take all that you can of this book upon reason, and the balance on faith, and you will live and die a happier man. (When a skeptic expressed surprise to see him reading a Bible)

Poetry: the best words in the best order.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I'm a morning person because I learned to write my novels while still practicing law. I would get to the office at 6:30 a.m. and write until other people arrived, around 9. Now I still do that. I start at 6:30 or 7, and I'll write until 11, then take an hour off, then work until about 2 p.m. By then my brain has had enough.

Steve Berry

Books are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst...They are for nothing but to inspire.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
