I never had to choose a subject - my subject rather chose me.

You think you choose the subjects of your books. But sometimes, in ways you don't know, the books choose you.

I choose roles that are not me.

Sometimes you don't choose the material; the material chooses you.

Choosing is a creative process, one through which we construct our environment, our lives, ourselves.

We don't choose the books we write; they choose us.

I get to choose the people I work with.

Now I get to pick and choose exactly what I want to do.

I'm picking and choosing what I want to do.

Why people pick me for the roles that they do is a bit of a mystery.
