Everybody's idea of a great book is different, of course. For me it's one that makes my jaw drop on every page, the writing is so original.

My books are shelved in different places, depending on the bookstore. Sometimes they can be found in the Mystery section, sometimes in the Humor department, and occasionally even in the Literature aisle, which is somewhat astounding.

I love reality shows. The folks who dream up some of these concepts are either geniuses, or totally stoned.

My books are character-driven. They're not driven by the story.

Humor can be an incredible, lacerating and effective weapon.

My humour has always come from anger, but I have to make sure I don't just get angry and jump on a soapbox.

I've always enjoyed making people laugh. But in order for me to be funny, I have to get ticked off about something.
