It's always a mixture of fiction and your own story. It's more I recreate atmospheres and moods through songs.

Basically, I just write whatever story grabs me rather than considering the genre.

I write novellas because I don't like loose sprawling prose.

I'm not writing great literature. I'm writing commercial fiction for people to enjoy the stories and to like the characters.

It always helps me connect with characters, to think about what music they respond to.

I think of fiction as the highest calling. I'm kind of addicted to it. It's the thing that has gotten me through all the hard points in my life.

It's irrelevant who or what directed a movie; the important thing is that you either respond to it or you don't.

Some writers like to go around talking about what they do all the time. I don't.
