Work begets work. I've always taken the jobs - I've tried to take the jobs where the story is full or the characters are full.
My mother had been a Latin teacher, and she was always very fascinated with words. She and I shared books and responded to them.
I really fall in love with my characters, even the bad ones. I love getting together with them. They tell me what to do; they take me on a wild and wonderful trip.
You always have to know that you are going to leave everything on the pitch, every drop of sweat, to help the team win the game.
Kids today are smarter than we ever were. And they've got computers, too, which is awesome. They're scary to me.
I have to have a character worth caring about. I tend not to start writing books about people I don't have a lot of sympathy for because I'm just going to be with them too long.
But even though all this was going on at home, if someone had tried to take me away and put me in a children's home, I couldn't have handled it. Even though my mother was very brutal, it was my home.
We were definitely not rich, but we were not poor. My mum always came home from work and did everything so that we ate well.
I've always treated my career like independent. Everything that I got is because of myself, my own endorsements, my own touring myself.
