I'm working on a bunch of things with my daughter Emily. In some ways, she's a smarter and better editor than I am.

I have great editors, and I always have. Somehow, great editors ask the right questions or pose things to you that get you to write better. It's a dance between you, your characters, and your editor.

I am better than my reputation.

I am a reluctant celebrity, in some ways.

I don't want to pretend I'm any cooler or smarter than I am.

I am still quick at 250 to 260 lbs and I am smarter.
