Unfortunately, there are writers whose only concern is how good they could make themselves look on a title.

When I'm my own editor, there's very little difference between the first draft and the final. I write what feels right to begin with. I rarely make any major changes.

When I got my first glimpse of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, my breath caught. In that single instant, he was Wolverine.

I would like immortality.

The bottom line always remains the same: What is the basic humanity of the character? How do I make them resonate with the reader?

I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.

I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.
