During my school visits, I really enjoy the feedback I get from them much more than anything I might tell say to them.

Yes, a cheeseburger and fries is probably my favourite meal. But I don't eat ground beef anymore.

I think two different people can read one of my books and come away with completely different opinions on the subject. I hope they just read from the beginning to the end and be made to think about the subject. Then they can come to their own conclusions.

The obesity epidemic among American children is becoming so bad that I think there's a growing realization across the country that we've got to change what we're feeding our kids and that school may be a really good place to start.

Most fast food is fried. Fried food tastes great, and people dont seem to care about the fat aspect.

A public outcry usually masks a private obsession.

I find that one of the most important things, as a writer, is to just show up - to just stay in the chair and fight through the difficult patches. As long as you're at the desk, and you're willing to fight it out, eventually the right words will come.
