I wanted to write stories for myself. At first it was purely an aesthetic thing about craft. I just wanted to become good at the art of something. And writing was very private.
I was very blessed in always knowing what I wanted to do, and by the grace of God I've been able to succeed in my chosen career.
I grew up in a place where books were very, very scarce, and I loved to read. I used to read the writing on my breakfast Ovaltine over and over again because it was in front of me, and I couldn't help but read anything that was in front of me.
I'll eventually go back to theater because the feeling of being on stage where you have the audience right there, you can't replace that with anything.
Fans always say they laughed and they cried while reading my books. And I tell them that I laughed and cried while writing them.
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.
If I've achieved a higher respect for women and for their role in society, then I would be very happy. That would really be my greatest wish.
It's good to focus on the universal suffering that goes on in any war. Whatever the right and wrongs of the war, there is always universal suffering.
Writers are not always right however, but then again, I've been on shows where the actors have complete control and change everything and it's terrible.
