Robin Hobb Dragons, to my way of thinking, are just another ‘race’ of sapient characters. We see lots of elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, giants and, of course, dragons. – Robin Hobb Characters Quotes Dragons Quotes Dwarves Quotes Elves Quotes Giants Quotes Goblins Quotes Lots Quotes Orcs Quotes Race Quotes Sapient Quotes Thinking Quotes The challenge is always to find the good place to end the book. The rule I follow with myself is that every book should end where the next book would logically begin. I know that some readers wish that literally all of the threads would be neatly tied off and snipped, but life just doesn’t work that way. As the character talks and moves, the world around him is slowly revealed, just like dollying a camera back for a wider look at things. So all my stories start with a character, and that character introduces setting, culture, conflict, government, economy… all of it, through his or her eyes.

Jill EllisMedical Many, many years ago, when you named alternates, and they wouldn’t travel with you – I think you’re dealing with a small roster. Now you travel with these alternates, which you can replace at any time, obviously, if it’s a medical situation, so you have it in your back pocket. – Jill Ellis
Afrojack I think the most important thing about dance music is the connection. If you put 80,000 people together, no one knows each other, and once the music starts, everyone loves each other. That doesn’t happen with a lot of genres. If you go to a hip-hop club, it’s not like when one songs comes on that everyone suddenly loves each other. – Afrojack
Katie Holmes I did Phone Booth, and that was shot very, very quickly, but that was Joel Schumacher, who’s shot so many movies that, if anybody can figure out how to do it in a couple of days, it’s him. – Katie Holmes
