My upbringing was very un-Hollywood. I was born in New York and grew up on a ranch.

I've grown up with dogs and love dogs.

I've sown all the oats I want to sow.

I enjoy my time alone.

I don't think I could be terribly demanding even if I wanted to be.

Writing is mentally stimulating; it's like a puzzle that makes you think all the time.
