I think I have a good head on my shoulders.

I have always been a very visual person and a keen observer.

Since I've written many of my books from a less-than-sympathetic viewpoint, I think that being able to see things from all sides is a useful talent.

I've been blessed to find people who are smarter than I am, and they help me to execute the vision I have.

I'm reasonably headstrong about what I believe in, and what I go for, and I've got fantastic people around me who give me great support and advice.

I think that I have a sensitivity toward people, and that is a strength.

I surround myself with positive, productive people of good will and decency.

I've trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.

When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well.

I love observing both vocally and by sight. So I take on a lot of those elements of people around me.
