I always take a story that's kind of out there, like an urban myth. I take some possibility that people imagine, that they are familiar with, and try to turn it into a story.

I find that most people know what a story is until they sit down to write one.

Sometimes I get the start of a story from a memory, an anecdote, but that gets lost and is usually unrecognizable in the final story.

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

Most people don't know how to tell stories.

I was always a storyteller. I just didn't know it. I never shared the stories I made up inside my head when I was growing up. I never wrote them down, either. But I can't remember a time when they weren't there.

A lot of people are not interested in stories in which they don't see themselves.

It's often said that everybody has a story to tell, and I suppose that's true, but the problem is that most of them aren't worth telling.

A lot of the stories I've read about myself, I don't even recognize who they're writing about.

My stories are often a little mysterious.
