I have a really high bar for being angry. Like, it doesn't even happen every year.

You're not going to change anyone's mind. Especially online.

I can't imagine what someone would write that would infuriate me. Maybe if my loved one had died of some disease and someone was insensitive, that would piss me off.

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.

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.

I've definitely written people e-mails telling them I've loved their stories, but that seems more like a professional journalist thing to do.

I never thought to look at the New York Times one, even though I knew people were pissed off. I've seen YouTube videos from people who are pissed off at me about that and that takes a lot of effort to go find.
