I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.
From my dad ... I think we have a similar sense of humor. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but I think he's funny!
I didn't go to Latin America thinking, 'I'm gonna write a book. This is what I'm gonna do.' I went there to work for UNICEF and to learn.
I decided to go to Latin America because many of my students in Washington emigrated from this region and inspired me to learn more about their home countries.
I can't wish I weren't something that I am.
As I've gotten older, my mannerisms are more and more like my mom's. Also, she was an educator - she's extremely passionate about education and children. I guess I inherited that in some way.
A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of mine.
I'm more like my father, personality-wise. But my mom and I get alone really well, obviously, because my mom and my dad get along so well.
My first cat was named Cowboy, after the Dallas Cowboys.
Writers know - especially new writers - [that] a lot of it [creative process] is the prewriting stage, the talking, brainstorming, the narrative arc and the character sketches.
I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.
I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?
I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
I think there are many ways to serve your country.
