It is something I recognise in myself. I do eavesdrop. I do people-watch, a lot.

I do love to eavesdrop. It's inspirational, not only for subject matter but for actual dialogue, the way people talk.

I do a lot of eavesdropping. That's one of the things I miss about New York: just checking people out.

I sometimes read on the subway, but I'm a hopeless eavesdropper and get easily distracted by strangers' conversations.

Sometimes I eavesdrop on people. I could rationalize it - oh, this is good anthropological research for characters I'm writing - but it's basically just nosiness. It also helps me gauge where I'm at: Am I normal?

I knew that if I could put a table in a room with not much light and a couple of chairs, I could have a real conversation. And I know that people... like to eavesdrop on a conversation.

I am a curious person and, believe it or not, I really do like to sit back and listen to people's stories.

I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.

I find sharing intimate details with people that you don't know an interesting concept. I like to keep some things to myself.

I like to think I'm a listener, and I'm fascinated by observing people - I suppose you just lock that in.
