Mostly I'm writing about people, so I feel constrained to take with me my view of people, my curiosity about how people choose the things they do and why they come to certain decisions in a certain fashion and all the things that drive most writers.

I suppose I am interested in the variety of human life - how people live. I am most interested in individuals and how they respond to challenges or to difficulties or just to each other. I am curious about people.

I find people interesting. People trying hard are interesting. People with a passion are interesting - whether it's old cars or taxidermy or knitting.

For me, the most interesting people are ones who often work against their best interests. Bad choices. They go in directions where you go, 'No no no nooo!' You push away someone who is trying to love you, you hurt someone who's trying to get your trust, or you love someone you shouldn't.

I love to hear about ordinary people's lives and interests and what motivates them.

People do fun and interesting things because they're fun and interesting.

I'm really fascinated by the self and how our selves shift and change over time and in relationship to different people.

I've always been fascinated by people, their psychology, what drives them and trying to understand them.

What is the most interesting thing to people? Other people.

I relate to people and roles that are about the arc of human experience, things that everyday people deal with every day.
