Why do I write books? Why do I think? Why should I be passionate? Because things could be different, they could be made better.

I don't think I would do better books if I wrote full time. I write for amateurish reasons.

I think I write in a fairly self-confident manner.

To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there - and bigger.

I write the shopping column. I think I've proven my superficiality.

I'm half-black, half-white, so I basically put it like this: I can fit in anywhere. That's why I write so many stories from so many different perspectives, because I've seen so many.
