The good folks mostly win, courage usually triumphs over fear, the family dog hardly ever contracts rabies: these are things I knew at twenty-five, and things I still know now, at the age of 25 x 2. But I know something else as well: there's a place in most of us where the rain is pretty much constant, the shadows are always long, and the woods are full of monsters. It is good to have a voice in which the terrors of such a place can be articulated and its geography partially described, without denying the sunshine and clarity that fill so much of our ordinary lives.

My heart was pounding, and I was sweating like I was there.
I think for many people there'll be no middle ground.
That whole program took on a life of its own.
If you don't have time to read, then you have more time to write. Simple as that.
We know that they obtained these bodies in a fraudulent way and off the scale of acceptable practice.
But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it's all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can't change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed.
