A book comes and says, 'Write me.' My job is to try to serve it to the best of my ability, which is never good enough, but all I can do is listen to it, do what it tells me and collaborate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I write a book, I'm making it the best book I can.
It's my job to write the best book I can each month and hand my scripts in. Everything else is beyond my control.
You work hard on a book and throw it out there and then it's beyond your control.
I believe that it is my job not only to write books but to have them published. A book is like a child. You have to defend the life of a child.
One of the things I've tried to do in my career is really write different kinds of books, so I'm able to broaden people's expectations of what I'm allowed to do.
