I decided I would never do interviews again.

Sing Me no songs tell me no tales cry me no tears, but remember me kindly.

I think I'm very real as a person, and that comes across in my work.

Remember me? I'm back to my old self again. No responsibilities, no attachments, no encumbrances. I don't want to own anything, love anyone, or get too attached to people, places or things. It's a rule that seems to work well for me.

I'm a terribly irresponsible eater - I love soft-boiled eggs and chocolate. I never met a chocolate I could not eat.

My kids are more precious to me than anything. I'm with them all day, and I write all night.

To be able to touch lives, and touch a life that you don't even know, is an extraordinary thing.
