I think it's strange for people to read about themselves, no matter what's portrayed or how it's portrayed. But they get used to it, and I think they're fine with it.

I try to not read about myself. I think it's easier to have it out of sight and out of mind.

Certainly with a book, people are going to be able to read it and give themselves permission to have that delicious feeling of being terrified because they're in a safe place while they're reading. That's what you can rely on as a writer, that people can let themselves be really frightened because they're really all right.

What I read is so distorted that I cannot believe that the person they are talking about is myself.

People aren't interested in seeing themselves as they really are.

People read way too much into personalities and all that stuff.

Everything I worry about would be better if more people could read, write and comprehend.

It's irksome to read about someone I don't recognize. It frightens me.

Honestly, I don't really read about myself. I look at the pictures sometimes. Sometimes I'm looking at them, and I'm thinking, 'They could choose some better ones.' But I don't spend time reading about myself because I know what I'm up to. I prefer to read about other people.

I think I'm attracted to writers who tell us something about ourselves.
