So long as readers keep reading and my publishers keep publishing, I plan to keep on writing. I'd have to be an idiot to be burnt-out in this job.

Evaluate. Long experience had taught me to evaluate and assess. When the unexpected gets dumped on you, don’t waste time. Don’t figure out how or why it happened. Don’t recriminate. Don’t figure out whose fault it is. Don’t work out how to avoid the same mistake next time. All of that you do later. If you survive.

People who wear glasses, without them they always look unfocused, vulnerable. Out in the open. A layer removed.

LA has a fantastic car scene and because the climate is so gentle, cars can last forever.

I've discovered writers by reading books left in airplane seats and weird hotels.

I always wanted to be in the world of entertainment. I just love the idea of an audience being happy with what I am doing. Writing is showbusiness for shy people. That's how I see it.

Most actors are small, anyway - at least compared to me.
