The Things I Care About Are The Most Pedestrian Things In The World. I Care About Good Ice Cream And Being A Good Dad And A Decent Husband.

I Think Writing For Anybody Helps You Order Your Life. It Helps You Arrange Your Emotions And Your Thoughts And It Helps To Provide Perspective.

I'm Very Introverted, So It Requires A Huge Effort For Me To Put On A Smile And Extend A Hand And Accept Compliments. I Would Much Rather Be Insulted Than Complimented Any Day.

It Doesn't Feel Like It's Just Business, Because There's No Business - It's Not Like We're Conducting Business, This Anonymous Critic And I. It's Just That This Person Is Tearing Me A New Asshole.

Kids Love To Be Silly, They Love To Laugh, So I Think It Was Natural For My Kids To Like The Sort Of Books That I Write - And It's The Only Kinds Of Books I'm Capable Of Writing.
