I love character and voice, and my favourite books have been the ones in which I've become completely absorbed.
For me, writing has always come out of living a fairly to-the-bone kind of life, just really being present to a lot of life. The writing has been really a byproduct of that.
There haven't been enough profound things written about what being black means and what a black character is. Nobody knows.
I never leave my computer open. That becomes a big OCD thing. If I see people leaving their laptops open, I always close them.
People are always thinking that I'm the main character in my books, but each one has been different, and sometimes they've been men.
The costume that I wear on the show is a little snug and doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination. I don't have a problem with it because of the way this character's been written.
I'm not driven. I love writing. My imagination is always working. I write when I have time, and life allows me the time.
With each book I write, I become more and more convinced that the books have a life of their own, quite apart from me.
The age in which we live can only be characterized as one of barbarism. Our civilization is in the process not only of being militarized, but also being brutalized.
