Quote

I get ideas for my books from people I know and what happens to them, from places I've been and what happens to me, and from things I read.

I think understanding your life as a story is a really terrific way of kind of knowing where you are and knowing who you are.

People always seem to see echoes of their own lives in my films.

Each person's life is lived as a series of conversations.

I'm not sure exactly how gossiping about my life with my audience really helps them.

I live my life and I do what I do, and sometimes you forget that people are watching you.

I concentrate on the lives of individuals whom the reader comes to know and feel with intimately.

Life happens, and I write about it wherever I am.

Each person's life is a story that is telling itself in the living.
