Mine is not a story to tell struggling writers.

People tell me their own stories about how they have come through great difficulty.

Most people don't know how to tell stories.

I try to tell the story, always. I do not want to be part of it.

I've always believed in working hard, and I'm grateful that people seem to connect with the kinds of stories I'm passionate about telling.

What I've learned is that the most troublesome people don't tell you 100% of the story, and keep some facts to themselves. They just don't give you the full picture, and that's very worrisome to me.

I love how a story can help someone discuss something they otherwise would not.

I think the hardest stories we tell are always the ones about ourselves. And as a journalist, I was taught that I'm never supposed to put myself in the story. So I spent what, 11, 12 years of my life writing about other people so I don't have to face my own life.
