My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.

I managed to take a family trip to the Bahamas and it was quite lovely.

I have considered rap music stars, and there is one in my new book, Lovers and Players, and there is also a hip-hop music mogul who I think you will like a lot.

I really fall in love with my characters, even the bad ones. I love getting together with them. They tell me what to do; they take me on a wild and wonderful trip.

If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!

Love does not appear with any warning signs. You fall into it as if pushed from a high diving board.

Do not copy my style! The first rule of writing is write about what you know, not what you think you know. So, think about what you've done in your life and write about that.

If you want to achieve your dreams, you must follow them, and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich, but to think about doing something that you really want to do.

Whatever you have a passion for, then you must do. If you want to write, write about something you know about.

If you wrote a page a day, at the end of the year you would have a book. Whether it's any good or not is beside the point, but you would have a book, instead of just talking about it all the time.

Your whole life is ahead of you. Don't you ever forget that.

I love to play the game of life.

The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.

The work for the actor is always the same. We're looking for a human being. We're looking for believable human behavior.

No more hard work than look beautiful with eight in the morning until midnight.

When you read a novel, your own imagery is the most important. It's what makes reading such a wonderful thing.

We were created to look at one another, weren't we?

Every woman's wardrobe should include black.

I’m frightened that one morning there will not be enough to keep me going.

Fear makes men believe the worst.

It's not can you, it's will you
