Anytime You Write About Priests Or Cops,

People Always Say, "can Writing Be Taught?" I Always Think, I Can Teach You How To Write A Better Sentence, How To Do Dialogue, How To Do Character, But I Can't Teach You How To Be A Decent Person, And I Can't Teach You How To Have Something To Say.

I Am A Totally Public Person.

I Love A Large Cast Of Characters. That's The Way Life Is: It's Flooded With People And We Keep Them All Straight.

It Was All In My Head And Now All I Had To Do Was Figure Out A Way To Get It Down On Paper.

I Wanted To Eat Her Pain, Take It Into Me And Make It My Own.
