I think that the celebrity memoir as a genre is looked upon as a lesser form. One of my missions as a ghostwriter has been to elevate that form. Maybe that sounds pretentious!

I've been writing books without ego for a very long time. I feel like it will get what it deserves. Or won't get what it doesn't deserve.

I'm so used to being separate from the publication process. I turn in the book to the editor and then I'm done.

I think one of the big things that's come out of ghostwriting for me is real compassion for the complexity of fame.

I’ve taken on some of the emotional weight of the stories I’ve worked on. I was writing about a very difficult time in the life of one of my clients and I burst into tears at a small, crowded café... I’m not a crier at all in my own life. Maybe that’s why I’m a ghostwriter.

No one grows up thinking they want to be a ghostwriter. No one plans on that job.
