Most projects that I've done are really not about the project. They're about what's going on inside and around, that journey that we're all on, and what I can do to help that journey further itself and be of encouragement to somebody.

My greatest love in life is to develop projects. I just get a huge kick out of that. I've been doing it since ever I could.

When you go into projects, you can't look at it as limited; you have to dive into it wholeheartedly to be true to the writer's vision.

I've carved out a career for myself really as a writer.

Whenever I've been stuck on a project, it's always brought me solace to the return to books that moved me in the past. It's a nice way to get outside my own head; and it brings me back to one of the most important reasons I write at all: to bring some pleasure to readers, to make them think or feel.

I think what happens is that you do the project first, then you think about what it's about. Years later, you figure out why you've done things.

It's a blessing to find a project you feel you have to make or you'll die.

I try to choose the projects that I think are the most well-written and well-executed, and the rest of it is so beyond my control to be almost not worth thinking about at all.

Thinking is my hobby. But sometimes you get to where you're stuck and you can't figure it out, so you just go work on another project. I always have multiple projects.
