Let me back up a little and tell you why I prefer writing to real life: You can rewrite. A novel, for example, can be cleaned up, altered, trimmed, improved. Life, on the other hand, is one big messy rough draft.

I prefer a life in which we don't take ourselves too seriously.

I write about true-life type things.

I write about my life.

And, you know, I liked writing humor. Well, I should say, I wanted to write seriously, but it kept turning funny.

You're writing your life as you go - the question becomes, how do you want to write your life?

A writer's life suits me. It's fairly, well, other people might think it was actually rather dull, but that's fine because I feel that my imagination is enough to kind of keep me happy.

I decided that it's either, you know, if I want to have children, have a family and - and live a long life, I've got to make some real, real serious changes.

I always like to write where I'm at in real life into whatever I'm working on.

I write about stuff that happens to me, so I try to live as interesting a life as possible.
