Naturally, everything boils down to relationships in my books.

Relationships with parents, grandparents, friends, and siblings were important to me when I was young and have remained so throughout my life. Our relationships with other people both shape and reflect who we are. These relationships are infinitely fascinating to explore!

I think female-female relationships interest me so much more because they're so encoded. There is kind of a psychic element that happens within groups of women.

I think a lot of a man's outlook in life - at least mine - is shaped by his relationship with his father.

Relationships are about helping motivate each other to be all that you can be.

Relationships are made of talk - and talk is for girls and women.

The most special relationships, in my experience, are based on a combination of trust and mutual respect.

I love exploring the relationship between fathers and daughters. I think that's a special thing, especially with daughters who are dealing with being adults.

Anyone who reads my work will see that there are often difficult relationships between fathers and sons.

I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing; I didn't think I had to.
