I always have a book that I use that somehow inspires my novels.

I have the power to write these books where I invent characters that I really like, and it gets to come out the way they want it to come out, and I get to make it happen.

I've got more ideas for books than I'll ever be able to use in my lifetime. I'm very fortunate like that.

I was reading a lot of books I admired, and thought that I would like to write something like that someday.

I'm not interested in creating a book that is read once and then placed on the shelf and forgotten.

I've always wanted to have a book published - it was a dream of mine, but the thought of actually writing a book made me feel really sick.

People are looking for inspiration, and my books are sometimes the vehicles of what people are looking for.

I don't want my writing to be work to read. My main goal is completely shameless entertainment. I want people to smile and giggle and enjoy the book. I'm not trying to save the world through literature.

Listen, I wrote 10 unsuccessful books before I broke through, so I'm looking all the time to keep my books fascinating. I want to write what people want to read, not push any message.

Each book I've done somehow finds its own unique form, a specific way it has to be written, and once I find it, I stick with it.
