People ask me why I write strong women, and I say, 'Well, I don't like stupid ones.' Who would want to read about weak and whiny women? Are they people who assume women are weak and whiny? If so, why do they think that?

I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there's nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl.

Strong women only marry weak men.

Women are not weaker. Read that again. Women are not weaker. They are just as strong, just as resolute, just as creative, and are filled with just as much potential as any man.

I think sometimes women who are supposed to be strong are also written as mean and vindictive.

I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.

When people say to me, 'Why are you so good at writing at women?' I say, 'Why isn't everybody?'

A lot of women feel ashamed to be weak.

There aren't a lot of roles written for women who are strong willed.

I don't try and write strong female characters or strong male characters, I just try and write, hopefully, strong characters and sometimes they happen to be female.
