I read all of the stories that people write about me.

The part of my writing I find the most rewarding is when people write to me or speak to me in public to tell me how his or her life has been changed by my books.

I like to have interesting things to write about. And when one says something is 'interesting,' one almost always means 'bad.'
I tell the stories that are of interest to me.
I write about stuff that happens to me, so I try to live as interesting a life as possible.

I never limit myself when it comes to telling stories; I think people can see that in my body of work. It's just about, 'What's a great story? Is it unique? Is it a challenge?'
