I'm the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.

I am the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.

A lot of the stories I've read about myself, I don't even recognize who they're writing about.

Whether I'll get the chance to write fiction, I don't know. I could do political conspiracy thrillers, couldn't I? With an investigative journalist as the heroine.

I read, therefore I'm interested in writers.

Readers are what it's all about, aren't they? If not, why am I writing?

I suppose people might consider me a 'loose' reader, as I seem willing to read anything of quality thinking and prose.

People who don't read seem to me mysterious. I don't know how they think or learn about other people. Novels are a very important part of our education.

Personally, I read fiction, in part, because I get to spend time with people who aren't my people.

I've had aunts and uncles who not only haven't read my books but could hardly believe that I was a writer.
