Wildlife needs wilderness-not just to survive, but also to live freely. Sadly, many species struggle to survive due to increased human activity and expansion into habitats they call home.

I've learned that ayahuasca works in levels, a little like peeling an onion. It is complex and something you really have to experience to understand.

I hate to sound clichéd, but I do see life as a journey. How else can you see it?

Crimes lead into one another. They who are capable of being forgers, are capable of being incendiaries.

Growth comes out of a healthy competitive atmosphere, not trying to choose a particular path forward.

I've been typed as a horror writer, and I've always said to people, "I don't care what you call me as long as the checks don't bounce and the family gets fed."

Gifts are as gold that adorns the temple; grace is like the temple that sanctifies the gold.
