If you let anything infringe on your writing time, it will. And you won't get the writing done. Taking one day off can cost me five days of getting back in the mood. Going out to lunch can cost me anywhere from five hours to three days. And for me it's not worth it. For my own sense of well-being I have to finish my work before I can play.

Sometimes life will make you give up what you love most.

I grew up with my father, so I know more about cars than most women.

It's hard being visible, so I've made myself invisible.

I try to give people hope. Even though life is bleak, there's hope out there.

I did it at night because I loved it. I never did it to make money, as a job. I just did it because I had to.

You'd be surprised how fast things happen when the right man comes along.
