I think I'm very curious about other people. I like to sit and eavesdrop, you know.

Inspiration comes from the world around me. I'm an inveterate eavesdropper.

It is something I recognise in myself. I do eavesdrop. I do people-watch, a lot.

I sometimes read on the subway, but I'm a hopeless eavesdropper and get easily distracted by strangers' conversations.

People inspire me. Everyone is such an individual and has unique stories. I'm a voyeur. I eavesdrop. Sometimes I ask questions. And sometimes people just want to tell me their stories.

I love to write and to get to know the people who are listening.

I write from real life. I am an unrepentant eavesdropper and a collector of stories. I record bits of overheard dialogue.

I love talking to people, hearing people's stories; I love honest things.

It's interesting because you feel on the one hand, we understand people from what the say, and in another sense, you'd think that you'd be able to convey more through dialogue.
