"I think shorter books are going to become more and more of the trend. So I don't think you have to write big, big, long books."

Previous Quote

What I would really love to happen to me would be if I came upon an idea that would keep me busy until I die so I wouldn't have to go through the business of thinking up a new book. But I wouldn't mind writing a long book which is going to occupy me for the rest of my life.
