I practiced law for 10 years, and I always admired the lawyers who were not afraid to take unpopular cases. And I never had the guts to do that. I was playing it safe. I was trying to make a living. And I just never volunteered for a really tough case, and there were some of them I should’ve taken. And I admired the lawyers who did. John Grisham Read Quote
I seriously doubt I would ever have written the first story had I not been a lawyer. I never dreamed of being a writer. I wrote only after witnessing a trial. John Grisham Read Quote
The Deep South has the friendliest people in the world. They will do anything for you. They also want to know what’s going on and won’t hesitate to ask questions. John Grisham Read Quote

I know nothing about making movies and I stay away from it and hope for the best. John Grisham Read Quote
