My definition of success is control.

If there is any secret to my success, I think it's that my characters are very real to me. I feel everything they feel, and therefore I think my readers care about them.

All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.

The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.

Failures to heroic minds are the stepping stones to success.
