Quote by -Diana Gabaldon
Actors act... Their job is to become this character. And I have, in fact, seen Sam Heughan become Jamie and Caitriona Balfe become Claire right before my eyes. It was an astonishing transformation.
Quote by -Diana Gabaldon
I've never been willing to commit to more than one at a time, because I just don't know - I don't plan the books out ahead of time. So I have no idea how much ground we'll cover.

Quote by -Diana Gabaldon
You won't have a story unless you have conflict, which means if there's no conflict in a situation, people look for a way to make some.
Quote by -Diana Gabaldon
I read some books, and I thought, 'This is better than sliced bread!' and a month later, I couldn't remember thinking about it.

Quote by -Diana Gabaldon
I have friends who are writers who have had movies made of their books, and they are almost uniformly horrified about what's been done - or, at least, dissatisfied.
