For every story you hear that's tragic, there's another that's equally tragic or more so. I think you come to look at it as part of life.

We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon.

I think everyone feels alone in their sadness, and there's a certain value to hearing other people's sad stories.

I've never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didn't choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.

Everyone can relate to the story of fighting for happiness.

Appalling things can happen to children. And even a happy childhood is filled with sadnesses.

We all go through sad times, but I was brought up to be positive.

Life is such a tragicomedy.

Crime stories show us the part of people's lives they try to keep hidden.
