Harold Robbins

“Sex is the driving force on the planet. We should embrace it, not see it as the enemy.”

“I started out to write the great American novel. I’m still trying.”

“Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.”

“I write for myself. The readers are my only judge.”

“I won't leave any unfinished manuscripts. I'll finish 'em.”

“Money doesn't buy happiness, but it quiets the nerves.”

“I'm a storyteller. My readers expect a story, and I give them one.”

“I don't write for critics.”

“You write about what you know, and I know about the rich, the powerful, and the decadent.”

“I'm the world's greatest writer.”
