I like the discipline of writing a script. You can't go into the character's head - you have to find these creative ways to help externalize what they're thinking.

I had no sympathy for drama queens.

I think mystery writers and thriller writers - whatever genre you want to call it - are taking on some of the biggest, most interesting kind of socioeconomic issues around in a really interesting, compelling way.

It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.

People love talking, and I have never been a huge talker. I carry on an inner monologue, but the words often don't reach my lips.

People say children from broken homes have it hard, but the children of charmed marriages have their own particular challenges.

I feel like I need to give people a note with the book that says, 'I'm OK, no worries!'
