People read way too much into personalities and all that stuff.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some people's personalities are so compelling that they command attention.
I think people have a tendency to read into more than there is.
Different people bring out different aspects of ones personality.
Personally I don't like it when writers become excessively proscriptive about the way that people read their books.
I think well-read people - the world is open to them.
Sometimes there's a snobbery among literary types that these people don't really get it, but in a lot of ways they get it more than the literati. There's a culture in the background that they understand and know. They get that deeper level.
Your source material is the people you know, not those you don't know, but every character is an extension of the author's own personality.
One of the things I constantly think about as a writer is the way in which people are full of contradictions - there's all this contradictory information inside a human personality.
I believe that, like most writers, my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can't be like any other author's really.
I think people like it when you have a bit of personality.
