I was always inventing characters and making up stories.

Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.

That said, I've never thought the fact that I'm a woman was important to my work.

I dont think gender is aesthetically defining for me.

How weird it was to drive streets I knew so well. What a different perspective.

I like to write about things that are extreme in some form. I like to write about something I feel I have to write about.

Don't make a threat and then not do it.
