It would probably surprise people to know that I'm interested in wildlife. I read a lot of poetry, too.
I always wanted to act, but never thought of it as something serious to do.
People have obsessions and fears and passions which they don't admit to. I think every character is interesting and has extremes. It's the novelist privilege to see how odd everyone is.
I think I always kind of wanted to be a musician but never dared to say it out loud because I never thought it was possible. I wanted to be a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor - I wanted to be a lot of other things growing up.
The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.
I have any number of completely dark obsessions and fascinations, and none of this was present in my profile or my growing profile as a writer.
I watch the Food Network with my kids. We - yeah, I - I - I generally don't admit that, but I love cooking.
