There are a lot of great love stories. It's just the best thing. Why wouldn't you write about it? Why wouldn't you want to read about it? But it's hard to write about. It's weird to have such a powerful and universal feeling and hope that you can write that and make it real for people.

I always do like to write love stories, even if they end tragically.

Of all the love stories ever published, I have - realistically - read very few.

I believe all stories are love stories, and there are kinds and kinds of love, so I will always write about love, but not necessarily romance.

I don't think you can write - at least not well - if you don't love stories, love the written word.

I've been writing stories since I was a kid. I love writing stories.

I had long wanted to write a love story, and I had long - wisely, I felt - shirked the challenge because I felt it the hardest story of all to write.

Writing is more about imagination than anything else. I fell in love with words. I fell in love with storytelling.

Writing is something that I've always loved. That stems from my love of being a reader.

Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.
