I write about the American dream: if you set your mind to do something, you can do it. My fans know they're getting the real thing.

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

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 woke up last night and thought: 'I must call somebody in my next novel Casablanca.' It's such a great name. I don't want to call anybody Fred or Jane or Susan, so when three people get into bed together, you don't know who they are.

Do not copy my style! The first rule of writing is write about what you know, not what you think you know. So, think about what you've done in your life and write about that.

I like to design my clothes; I design my jewelry, yeah. It's fun.
