Every day of your life, you have information that enters your head, and that information informs your understanding of things, or shifts it, or changes it, or deepens it, or confuses you. Every day, every moment of every day - it's like this thing that happens.

I want to create situations that give people something to think about.

I often have a theme in mind when I'm starting. I know that I want everything to be in a world of, say, evolution, or guilt.

Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.

I just try to be honest, because I think that's part of my job description as a writer.

Sometimes I don't like the books that I'm reading.

If you ever got me, you wouldn't have a clue what to do with me.
