I probably don't look healthy, but I have never got to the stage where I thought I was going to pass out.
I'm big on story structure. I studied with John Truby, who mapped out story by means of moral wants and needs, and that's what I do. Hey, so does John Irving.
Before I started surfing, I don't even know if I would have dived into the water at night alone. It was still scary.
My identity started developing through the songs I was writing.
I was in L.A. during an earthquake in 1994, an experience that really stressed me out. I started doing yoga to calm my nerves.
I mean do women like to get the crap scared out of them at the movies? Sure. Of course.
I'm not the sort of writer who can plan out things. Mostly I have no idea where I'm going.
I started out writing stories because that's all I wanted to read, but now I don't know if I'll ever write one again.
I never know as a writer when I set out into a novel where it's going to take me.
