What I want to do is tell stories about normal people in the American suburbs. I don't write the book where it's a conspiracy reaching the prime minister; I don't write the book with the big serial killer who lops off heads.

When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful, and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you. They have a different persona and mindset, and you have to figure out what works best within your communication with that athlete. Dan OBrien

Within the pages of The Betrayal of America I prove that these justices were absolutely up to no good, and they deliberately set out to hand the election to George Bush. Vincent Bugliosi
You may find many contradictory statements and philosophies within my writings. However, to this I will say such is life, for life is full of contradictions. Bryant H.McGill
You try to stay within the rules for the sake of the game, but you can always turn up the intensity. Lawrence Taylor
