 Reading takes solitude and it takes focus. |
| I'm always prepared for the worst. I was prepared to have the book come out, sell seven copies, and have to keep working in advertising, so it was just great that it was received so well and by such a huge audience. |
| My only ritual is to just sit down and write, write every day. |
| With my own memoirs, they are truthful, and I write everything fully expecting to some day end up televised on Court TV, and I'm fully prepared to be challenged legally on it. |
| I never listen to music when I write. |
| I think writers tend to be experience junkies, and I think they also tend to want to be on the outside looking in. |
| I can't tell you how much I love Target and Costco, that kind of culture, because it's something I never felt a part of. I've always felt like a tourist because I have never fit in anywhere. |
| I like, though, that people have a hunger to connect with other people. They're desperate to know that you're not lying to them or misleading them. |
| Before I'm a writer, I'm definitely a reader and when I read memoir, I really want it to be true. |
