- Prison is like high school--with knives.
- [on the easiest way to make the world a better place] Be nice to old people, little kids, and all animals. Don't litter.
- [on his biggest accomplishment] Considering the amount of times I've contemplated killing myself, I'd say just being alive is an accomplishment.
- [on life before the internet] I liked not having to deal with the phone when I was at work or in my car. I think all of this technology is a double-edged sword. I love using the internet to research my novels, but I am not a big fan of social media, which seems to be making a lot of people into cyber-bullying assholes. And as an artist these days, it feels a lot like high school -- there is always someone more popular than you, getting more hits, more applause, more love or whatever. I am only on social media sites to try to promote these books, not to tell people what I ate for breakfast.
