I get work because I'm primarily a novelist but I've become script doctor. I can work back and forth between French and English.

I'm not gifted, but I'm not hopeless.

It’s trite to say that the world has gotten smaller in the age of globalization, but my travels have told me that it’s wrong to think that this means... there is some kind of uniform world culture.

Science fiction is anything published as science fiction.

I was a precocious reader.

I write in American slang.

If I had parallel lives to pursue, I would also want one as a painter.
