When I get real big volumes of hate mail, it's usually because I wrote something poorly. But it's also because some group told people to e-mail me and those people didn't read the article, they read the post about what I wrote about. And they all e-mail me. And they all come around at the same time.

I think I realized that Dave Barry was funnier than I'll ever be, and he made no attempt to make any actual points. He had a general libertarian point of view, but in general, he just liked to make jokes.

Basically, I wake up, take care of my son for a little while, and then like, "I am gonna write!" And then I wind up.

The people who get places in life just say yes to everything.

If you're at my level and you go to a bookstore, even a good turnout is not that many people. Sometimes it is. But for the most part, it's not a huge turnout.

You really, really have to care about animals to want to kill one. You have to learn all this stuff about them and start thinking like them.
