I've written 16 children's books and five unpublished novels. Some of the latter were breathtakingly bad.
I have never seen a connection between cinematic violence towards women and actual violence towards women in society.
I wish to Christ I could make up a really great lie. Sometimes, after an interview, I say to myself, 'Man, you were so honest - can't you have some fun? Can't you do some really down and dirty lying?' But the puritan in me thinks that if I tell a lie, I'll be punished.
