Though I don't consider myself a writer of romance. To me, romance is fantasy, and it's one-dimensional. I write about love and the struggles of deep human connection, which is complex and nuanced.(less)

Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Did you really want to die?"
"No one commits suicide because they want to die."
"Then why do they do it?"
"Because they want to stop the pain.”
Tiffanie DeBartolo, How to Kill a Rock Star

“Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them.”
Tiffanie DeBartolo

“Personally, I don’t like inherently happy people. I don’t trust them. I think there’s something seriously wrong with anyone who isn’t at least a little let down by the world.”
Tiffanie DeBartolo, How to Kill a Rock Star
