When I was in school, I was always writing scripts and dressing up as characters. I'd constantly be that guy who'd get up on stage. I used to write imaginary TV shows, like soap operas, for fun.

I started writing stories in my spare time.

I wanted to invent myself as a fictional character. And I did, and it has caused a great deal of confusion.

I'm still really fascinated with characters and people and telling their stories.

One of the reasons I began to write was because I wanted stories for my children where the characters spoke as they did and had similar life experiences.

Whenever I have had to write fiction, I've always had to invent a character who roughly has my background.

I began writing fictional stories and little screenplays when I was in fifth grade.

As a kid, I liked making up stories, and I wrote a story about a kangaroo and a bat with Christy Chang, and she went on to become a surgeon.

In my younger days, I was trying to write sophisticated prose and fantastic stories.

I began writing fiction because it was the only way to tell all the intricacies of a real-life spy story.
