Your whole life is ahead of you. Don't you ever forget that.

Ideas are all around me. If I wasn't interested in them myself, I don't think anyone else would be either.

I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.

Men are cheaters. Women are not to be trusted. And most people are dumb.

I think I'm a born storyteller. Inspiration is all around me. I can read a newspaper article and come up with an idea for a book.

Where was Paris Hilton a year ago? She's a fabulous character to write about.
