When you decide you're going to join a project, it's all about the gift you're giving the audience.

There've been periods where I had to convince the audience or win them over.

I was the type of person that would show a PowerPoint presentation about why I should do something versus crying and screaming over it.

The entertainment is in the presentation.

I have written every one of my novels to convince somebody of something.

I've been lucky. I've had this history of having an appeal to more than one type of audience.

The thing I fail to do is fully comprehend what's given back to me by the audience. You would think you would be a performer partly so you could feel all the appreciation or adulation, but I haven't quite managed that yet.

I have to satisfy my audience.

I try to bring the audience's own drama - tears and laughter they know about - to them.
