Quote

I write books for all age groups - young kids, teenagers and adults - because I get a range of different ideas.

I have a lot of books I want to write.

I've written a lot of books now; I've been published for over 30 years. I hope with every book I learn something new, and with every new novel I try to improve the process of writing.

I like to write books and cause trouble.

When I stopped performing for 16 years and lived in Michigan and was married and raising my children, I wrote about four or five books. I haven't published them. I just haven't gotten around to it for several reasons.

I believe that it is my job not only to write books but to have them published. A book is like a child. You have to defend the life of a child.

When I'm not writing, I read loads of fiction, but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy, religion, science, history, social or cultural studies.

I think I've written 40 books, and none of them have been heavy on action. I'm an introspective person.
