I start with characters, and then I start writing, and then, if I'm lucky, things start to happen.

I always try to make each character my own.

I imagine that my characters have become much more complicated than when I first began, which would be normal.

You have to start from a place of trying to create a character.

There is a little bit of me in every part I do... I'm not really good enough to completely construct an all-new character.

I believe in growth - in myself and in the characters I create.

I didn't have anyone to play with so I made up my own world.

I'm not very good at creating worlds. I prefer to write about the world as it is.

You always have to create the character from the ground up.
