People like to run their mouths.

I like doing the readings and the autographing, but the interviewing gets a little tedious because you get asked the same questions every day and sometimes three or four times a day.

Look, as my mama always said, 'One monkey don't stop no show.

I'm more interested in interpersonal relationships - between lovers families, siblings. That's why I write about how we treat each other.

The best rush in the world is getting something at 80 percent off.

Writing is my shelter. I don't hide behind the words; I use them to dig inside my heart to find the truth.

What I do know is sometimes we love the wrong people and sometimes we marry them.
