When you look past the image, a celebrity is merely a person you know nothing about.

My dream was to write a book and see it published. I didn't dare imagine anything beyond that, so, I'm trying to keep my head on my shoulders.

It's gut instinct that helps me determine how to write a story. I love the surreal because I am faced with the challenge of making the unbelievable believable. That challenge is thrilling.

Just write and love what you're writing. And if you're not loving what you're writing, take a look at why and fix that.

Emotionally, my ambition is not yet sated. Emotionally, I still feel like a kid at the adult's table, yearning for recognition. I'm not sure where this all comes from but it is how I feel.

Writing, at its best and truest, can offer solace and salvation for both readers and writers.

My dad is a workaholic so I take after him in this respect.
