I've come to think of myself as a writer of books.

Another thing that's good about writing to describe a situation or a state of consciousness is that you can finally get it right. That was my intention, and that's always interesting.

A memoir takes some particular threads, some incidents, some experience from a person's life and gives an account of it.

I believe in people treating each other with respect.

An autobiography is a life story. It starts when you're born and continues until the end.
