For me, I prefer to work on my own. I feel like I can tap into a more genuine place, and I feel like my best stuff comes from writing on my own in my own zone.

I have my own voice and can focus only on that. I know what I like; I find my inspirations in so many other places than just online and bring that into my work.

I'm finding things out about myself as a person - as a writer - as I write, and so are the people who listen to what I do. But they have this additional aspect of how they take the stuff that I do, and so it broadens the work, and it creates this strange connection.

When anybody starts out with a memoir, you get the impulse to tell your own story with your own voice, and you get all that out in one fell swoop sometimes.

When you're working in a collaborative storytelling medium, every step of the way, you're opening yourself up.

Listening to others does not mean you should sound like them; find your own voice by telling stories as authentically as possible.

At Marvel, I was lucky enough to work with really talented people, but I always had this nagging thought: 'One day I'll write my own stories.'

I think there's a natural link between the fact that our self is a story that we make up and that we're drawn to stories. It resonates, in a way.

It's really important to find a humble approach to your own creative work, your own business work. To recognize that you can't do everything yourself.

One of the most challenging aspects of writing a memoir is finding your own voice, and you should be very careful about being influenced by someone else's voice.
