I just like to inhabit a character really deeply.

I think I write what's interesting to me, and so if I'm reading I like to have a very thorough idea of a character in a book that's by someone else.

I just write the books that I think I would want to read.

I do think I was trying to entertain the reader more than I was trying to purge myself.

I just think that people are complicated, both men and women. It happens that I write more about women.

In life we're most hell-bent on proving things that we're not really sure are true.

When you are a high school girl, there is nothing more miraculous than a high school boy.
