I've always been a fighter. If you tell me I can't, I'll die trying to prove you wrong.

I'm trying to make all the characters change and grow, or regress.

Things don't really impress me. Memories impress me. It's not the toys, it's the people.

I don't often know exactly what's coming next, and that makes it more fun. And you know, for me, this entire genre is all about that; it's all about having fun and getting away from the mundane world for just a little while.

Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the experience of reading the book for my readers.

My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.'
