I don't think I wrote stories down when I was young, but I certainly made them up, perhaps sometimes losing track of the border between reality and make-believe.

There are certain things I couldn't write because they're not intrinsic to my beliefs. For instance, I couldn't write a hero or heroine who didn't put children first.

I think I have written the things I was put on Earth to write.

I'm afraid I don't think I really have a life on which something can be written.

Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.

I do try to write in ways that reflect reality, and I think that reality is rarely simple.

I think it's nearly impossible to write something fictional without having it be about yourself in some way or another.

Don't try to write what other people are writing - write what is true to you.

There is this assumption that much of what I write is about my life, and that simply is not true.
