Quote

Doing a story about my mundane, waking life, how much I don't like my job, or breaking up with someone, I don't think so. Those stories don't interest me that much as a general thing.

What I'm passionate about is telling stories which mean something to me.

I don't ever want anything to come in the way of me truthfully telling a story.

I do have to earn a living, so I'm conscious of probable reactions from readers, but the most important one is still the awareness that if I'm not enjoying a story, the reader won't either.

Tell the story that's in your heart, and don't hold back. Write a book the reader will want to melt into.

Sometimes you have to go places with characters and emotions within yourself you don't want to do, but you have a duty to the story and as a storyteller to do it.

The key is to work with people who are passionate about storytelling and who have a similar sensibility of the type and nature of the stories that you want to tell.

I'm interested in stories that aren't getting told: it's where my interests lie.

I try to tell the story, always. I do not want to be part of it.

People love stories. They need stories.
