I cant change overnight into a serious literary author. You cant compare apples to oranges. William Faulkner was a great literary genius. I am not. – John Grisham
I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work. – John Grisham
Ive had nine of my books adapted to film, and almost all were enjoyable. Ive been very lucky with Hollywood, and look forward to more movies being adapted. But I dont get involved in that process. I know nothing about making movies and I stay away from it and hope for the best. – John Grisham
