Nicholas Sparks Quotes

«I knew I wanted the ending of the story to be poignant and heart-felt, and secondly, because I didn't know if I would be able to do that, since my previous novels hadn't been good enough to publish. If I couldn't do it, I didn't want to waste my time writing the rest of the novel, knowing it would collapse at the end.»
«Having the book sell out of stores is far and away the most difficult step of all. Walk into a bookstore these days and scan the shelves. Thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of books, are competing with yours and the front of the store is dominated by brand-name authors.»
«I don't write romance novels, any more than Tom Clancy writes legal thrillers. Yes, I write about love and relationships and Tom Clancy writes a thriller, but what I do would not be accepted by romance publishers, since the romance genre has numerous requirements and I don't satisfy any of them. I write love stories, a completely different genre.»
«I don't write fantasy, I write reality. Also, my novels have roots to Greek tragedies and as such, there has to be tragedy.»
«I have certain moral parameters that I do not cross in writing; I don't write about adultery or kids having premarital sex.»
«I have no preference on writing in contemporary or historical periods-that decision is based on the story.»
«I read over a hundred books a year and have done so since I was fifteen years old, and every book I've read has taught me something.»
«I very seldom, very seldom, even know what my characters look like. I keep it vague.»
«I'm writing a new love story, set in eastern North Carolina. Surprise, surprise, huh?»
«If I wasn't doing this, I have no idea what I'd be doing.»
