I am a cookbook fanatic.

The cookbooks and the writing in general have been a real bonus, but it's not something I've ever pursued... I've been lucky, I guess.

I'm always working on a few different stories at once, so there's always some really big coffee table book I'm carrying around.

I'm not like a Sears Catalog of ideas. I don't have that many ideas. I've more or less written them over the years. Usually, I come up with a situation or a character, and it rattles around in my head until the story or the plot emerges.

I've been thinking about a cookbook. I've been making notes and promising myself I'll do it some day. I have an idea for a cookbook and music together.

I love cookbooks, and I have a ton. I have shelves of cookbooks.

I use other cookbooks for inspiration. I must say I tend to cook from my own cookbooks for parties.

I've always had a fantasy to write a cookbook, because everyone wants to know what a model eats.

I'm going to book-and-author dinners, and I'm the author!
