Whenever I wrote fiction, people always seemed to think that what I wrote was true, that it was entirely autobiographical. And when I would write non-fiction, they often accused me of exaggeration and fictionalization.

I have very few hobbies. In fact, I have no hobbies.

I don't laugh that much, but I do like humorous books, and I like to entertain readers that way.

I hid my underwear beneath a parked Peugeot.

Mostly I have to try to censor myself so as not to write things that will hurt other people, or that will go too far.

I've really never written about my relationships, or things like that. I wouldn't want to divulge things that were too private.

As a child, I wanted to be an athlete, a professional tennis player or something like that.
