I meet people at book signings. My record now, for signing, is ten and a half hours in one sitting.

I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we're connected. It's great.

I love getting attention, just like a child loves it, and it's never worn off. So when people say, oh the book signings go on, why would I shoo away someone who's giving me attention? What part of standing in line for 10 hours to say how much they love you is bad to you?

I've learned at the book signings that everyone has obstacles.

I've had people turn up to book signings with knives, with guns.

I've loved traveling around the country and meeting people at book signings.
