One of the things I constantly think about as a writer is the way in which people are full of contradictions - there's all this contradictory information inside a human personality.

My books have contradictions all the time - and people are fine with that.

I think people have to choose between living with contradictions or painting themselves into a corner. I have a lot of contradictions.

I wrote what I felt I had to write, and I'm willing to put my own sanity and my reputation behind it.

I write to understand my circumstances, to sort out the confusion of reality, to exorcise my demons. But most of all, I write because I love it!

I write to make sense of things that don't make sense to me.

I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.

I like writing flawed women, and being one, it's something I feel I can write with some veracity and authority.

Of course, we're all a mass of contradictions.

I am a man of contradictions, I suppose.
