When I work on stories, I tend to be pretty obsessive.

When I work on stories, I tend to lose sight of everything else. I forget to pay bills or to shave. I don't change my clothes as often as I should.

I love the magic of stories and the power of stories.

We all mythologize to some degree ourselves and probably embellish. I think some of that is the desire to tell stories.

I grew up around writers, and there was always a romance to them. They were charming. They would tell their stories of what they were working on, over the table.

When criminals go free, the hope is that history will come in and provide some level of justice. It won't correct the sins, but it will at least record them. The sinners would be known, and the victims' stories would be known.
