I'd say I never considered myself a great architect. I'm more of a creative problem solver with good taste and a soft spot for logistical nightmares.

One of the main reasons I don't like leaving the house is because I might find myself face to face with a Canadian.

When I'm sitting at my computer writing, I really have this fiendish smile on my face. I am not thinking about the past or the future or how it's going to be received. I feel that I'm very lucky that way; I don't carry that particular anxiety around with me. I'm not anxiety-free by any means, but that happens to be one that I've been spared.

I think one of the good things about writing novels is that you always start from scratch.

I love the camaraderie of a writers' room.

My day is not that fun-filled or that filled usually with complications.

When I'm creatively solving problems, I'm in my sweet spot, and nothing can take me out of that joyful present.
