I split my time between a small town in New Jersey and New York City.
From James McBride
Most of my work is done when everyone else is asleep.
I go through periods listening to specific types of music. Because I'm a musician, listening to music is... it's a bit like work for me. A little bit.
I grew up in a house with a lot of kids, brothers and sisters. So I don't mind a lot of talking, yelling, playing. I can tune most of that out.
I don't want to read a book that's depressing.
Historical novels are hard to do for the general public for commercial writers like myself.
You can't live for literature. You can't live for the job.
I don't live for my work. My life is my life. That's more important, and I think that helps my work.
All of us want to be Superman when we grow up, fighting for truth and justice. That's part of what drives me as a writer.
I'm trying to get Americans to see that we're all pretty much the same. I believe it; I was taught God doesn't have a color. I want to better the planet a little bit.
