I grew up in East Flatbush in Brooklyn which was an intense neighbourhood filled with different West Indian cultures.
I'm always interested to meet my friends' parents, or who they were raised by. Where they grew up, I always find very interesting.
I grew up in a very racially integrated place called Pottstown. It was an agricultural / industrial town which has since become a suburb of Philadelphia. I grew up basically in a black neighborhood.
I was a very observant child. The boys in my books are based on boys in my neighborhood growing up.
As I get older, the book projects are - liberating is one word, but they really are me.
The poetic notion of infinity is far greater than that which is sponsored by any creed.
Brooklyn, it's a great town, a great city. It's New York.
I was never the person who came up with a boom somehow. I worked slowly and consistently, making my way up the rankings, so there wasn't one special moment.
Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do.
