What I have is a malevolent curiosity. That's what drives my need to write and what probably leads me to look at things a little askew. I do tend to take a different perspective from most people.

I write what I don't know. It's way more interesting.

I like writing about the issues we all bump up against as we get older, but I try to present them in a fun way.

Knowing what I'll write about and what I won't has never really been a problem. I won't write about things that bore me.

I end up writing about all kinds of things. I never make an attempt to write about anything in particular. I don't have a little list of topics to write about.

If you're a writer, the insight of other writers - if there's some kind of Holy Grail message on how to deal with writer's block or how to deal with any problem that can come up - whether you're writing about yourself or a group of people, I find that very interesting.

When I'm writing a novel, I'm usually just trying to write about things that are interesting to me.

I have a certain pool of subject matter that I like to write about, things that interest me: politics, religion, ecology, and relationships between men and women. And that's usually what I focus on.

There's actually nothing interesting about me except what I write.

Because I've lived a risky and unconventional life, I don't often struggle for subjects to write about.
