It really surprises people ordtak

en It really surprises people, and I understand why, but that was probably the easiest book I ever wrote, because it was simple narrative,

en I wrote a book about a child killer once and part of the narrative is from his point of view. There was/is nothing wrong with that book. In fact, it's one of my most popular. But now that I am a father, I would not do that again.

en I think it's a stupid way to read a book, ... to say that because something happens to one person the author is trying to suggest that all people are like this. The novel is the art of the particular. And I'm talking about a particular person whose development from innocence to guilt, if you like, is his own particular narrative arc. The point is to make that coherent - not to read the book as some kind of simple allegory, but to read it as a story about a person.

en Freud wrote a book on the essence of humor, but he didn't know what he was talking about. Max Eastman wrote a book, The Enjoyment of Laughter, that was a much better book, but nobody bothered to read it.

en All false: I like gambling, the system was not cheating, and it was simple. But you're getting my side of the story here. It's my book; let those guys write their own books if they like. ... The cheaters stacked the deck, but cheaters are always the easiest people to beat.

en I just put it on the site for anyone to enjoy. Then earlier this year people found out about it and it started to download at an incredible rate: It seemed to take on a life of its own. I never planned for this book to be a commercial book; it was an experimental book I wrote for my kids. I'm just thrilled people are enjoying it. If it means people get to know me as a writer, then that's great.

en I totally understand all the bad press, ... It's not about the book, but the ideas in it and the way these guys speak. But on the other hand, this is how these guys speak when they're together. So if I wrote a book that was unassailable in that direction, it wouldn't be an honest book ... if a guy was open about his sexual feelings all the time, he would become a total outcast.

en How do you write a children's book? Keep it simple. We've come to learn that people really take to messages. They believe in the things that we say, especially kids with siblings. We want to be role models and we know that our biggest power doesn't come from being football players. It comes from helping people understand the right ideals.

en I understand people's concerns and I understand the perception of things, and I don't like it because I don't want any kid ever to leave. It comes to maturity, and comes to understanding college basketball isn't the easiest thing in the world.

en The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I'd done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn't read it.

en I agree with the people who think it's slow. I wish to God they would have let me write the screenplay. But the worst person to ask about a film that's made from a book is the guy who wrote the book. He's always going to have bitches. . . . But I'm not bitching. . . . I'm glad they made it.

en The easiest time to hit is when you first get there because nobody knows you. After that, you've got to make adjustments. Once you get around the league, 'You don't like this, you don't like that. You chase this ball.' That's when it becomes interesting once people have a book on you.

en I'm sure a lot of people will be surprised to know what was going on, and that's why I wrote about it. It's my book and my story, and it was time for me to say some things about some people that have been a part of my life and that I've had some bumps and bruises.

en People will say, 'It's a good thing you wrote your book, because the show is ending,
