« I'll always be known for 'The Outsiders.' That's easy to live with. Not many writers have an 'Outsiders,' whether it's their first book or their 12th book. I found that a lot of people expect me to write it again. I can't, and I don't want to. I'm proud of it, and I'm glad that it's done so much good, but it's freed me up to write different things. »
