The thing I was always most protective of was my mystery. I worried that if I gave too much of myself, then I would limit the characters I could fall into.

I'm very protective of how much I let people see.
I spent a lot of time protecting myself. I mean, I've met a lot of extraordinary people over the years - and I just wish I had been able to open myself up to them more.
My character has always been important to me. That was the one thing that I knew, no matter what, I had to hold that strong.
For the most part, there's so much of me in my characters.
Once I start writing about somebody, I become very protective of them.
I've always been super-private and protective of certain experiences and certain friends.
I like to think I put some of myself in every character.
I brought my personality and sense of wonder and I think they wrote as much of my personality as they could. I do not go around kicking butt and saving the universe all the time but they tried to capture me as best as they could in the character.
Character is one of most precious parts of you. You can't get involved in things that will damage your character.
I made the character as much of myself as I could.
