I realized when I was taking care of my problems that the band is all I really care about.

I guess I am a feminist of sorts. I love women so much, and I celebrate the feminine in me because I appreciate it so much.

If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.

I grew up with the smell of the lake and the feeling of the woods.

They've been stepping on my toes for years. It's just a reason to get new boots.

Imagine taking off your makeup and nobody knows who you are.

A lot of my books deal with very controversial issues that most people often don't want to talk about, issues that, in my country, are more likely to get put under the carpet than get discussed. And when you talk about moral conundrums, about shades of gray, what you're doing is asking the people who want the world to be black and white to realize instead that maybe it's all right if it isn't. I know you'll learn something picking up my books, but my goal as a writer is not to teach you but to make you ask more questions.
