If I have the option, I always read the paper or a book or something I can touch and destroy in my own hands.

I've felt depressed many times in my life, so I can draw on those times in my life when I need to.

I just want to keep finding special characters that I feel like I can bring to life and characters that are real and not superficial.

When I sit at that typewriter, I have to be frightened of what I'm trying to do. I'm frightened by my own belief that I can actually get a story down on paper.

I've taken my destiny into my own hands and I'm in a happy place.

When I'm on the couch, I usually have the TV on and my MacBook Air nearby. And sometimes, when my ADD is really kicking in, I have my iPad too. And my iPhone. And a magazine that I haven't gotten to. And a book under the pillow to my left.
