I love attention. Maybe my desire for attention is a little too out of control, but I'm very honest.

I'm terribly attention-seeking. It's very different once you get all this attention, though. Because then you want to control it. And you can't exactly.

It'd be disingenuous to say I don't like attention - I'm an actor for God's sake - and it's flattering and all, but attention was never my big goal. I just like to work and have a good time.

If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.

I love the attention but I don't like too much of it.

People are used to streaming and binge-watching. When they see an author they like, if there's only one book, even if they like the book, they're going to forget about you. The way to keep you in their mind and to get you to become a habit for these readers is you have to have a lot of product out there for them to read.

I tend to push whatever is looking over my shoulder away when I am writing. It's once the box of books arrive that I say I'm going to be pilloried for this or that. But then you realize it's done, and there is nothing I can do. I'm proud of the book.

I think for any actor to say they don't like attention is ridiculous. Of course we love attention. But getting attention is different than pretending the attention means something.

Seeing people who are actually reading your book and listening to the wide variety of reactions they have to it, is really special.

I wrote a book, and I just love it when people come up to me and say, 'I read your book and loved it.'
