I'm not that much of a researcher. I'm good at channeling characters, and I'm good at structure.

I remember being banned from other houses as a younger child during the winter holiday season; I was the only one who didn't believe in Santa Claus, and I was ruining everyone's Christmas.

The very best parts of me go into my writing, it is the best version of myself, and I don't think it's hubristic to believe that that's worth something, worth someone else's time. It's the most I have to offer the world.

We are human beings, not ants.

In the wintertime I like macaroni and cheese.

You can quit smoking, and never have to have a cigarette again to survive. But with food, it is a daily challenge.

An ellipsis is a giant ocean of possibilities.
