Whatever you have a passion for, then you must do. If you want to write, write about something you know about.

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

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.

People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.

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.

My books flow. People say they pick them up and they can't put them down. It's because when I'm writing them I pick my pen up and I cannot put my pen down.

I write synopses after the book is completed. I can't write it beforehand, because I don't know what the book's about. I invent something for my publisher because he asks for one, but the final book ends up very differently.
