John Grisham

“I'm a writer. I'm a storyteller. I like to tell stories about things that I know.”

“I always try to write a book that is compulsively readable, that you can't put down.”

“Most of my books are set in the South, and the reason is that I am a Southerner.”

“The great writers are giants. I am not a giant. I'm a pygmy. I'm just a writer.”

“Don't be afraid to be ambitious about your goals. Hard work never stops. Neither should your dreams.”

“Fear is a powerful motivator.”

“Reading is the cheapest form of travel.”

“We're all flawed, but we're all trying to do the right thing.”

“It's a wonderful thing to be able to create a world of your own.”

“The truth is the one thing that nobody wants to hear.”

“Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot of difference.”

“I have a great deal of respect for the legal profession.”

“I don't believe in writer's block. I think it's a myth.”
