The biggest critics of my books are the people who never read them.

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

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.

I am currently talking to one of the studios about making American Star as a TV series.

I managed to take a family trip to the Bahamas and it was quite lovely.

I'm a storyteller, I'm not a literary writer, and I don't want to be a literary writer. People say to me, "Oh, when are you going to write something different?" What? I don't want to write anything different. I'm writing relationships between people, all different colors, all different sizes, all different sexual orientations, and that's what I want to do.

The easier you make it look, the more difficult it is. Creating characters out of nothing, and making them interesting - and that's another advice I would give to writers.
