My close proximity to many of the newsmakers can give me a different perspective about people in politics and what they might say than others who don't know them.

It's no secret that I've become known for my strong political views.

People know that I am a very good author. But they would rather read what I have to say about the next election.

As a writer, I have readers who will have a range of political views. I don't think they look to me for political guidance.

I am not a politics wonk. I like the idea of my writing reflecting more about who I am or other people.

I follow politics very closely. I read several newspapers every day.

I don't want to force my politics on my readers.

I read the 'New York Times', I read 'The Nation', I read 'Newsweek', I read 'Time Magazine', I read 'Politico', I read 'Mediaite'. This is what I do! I read every day, I have interests, I'm like everybody out there who's watching, who's out there watching, you know?
