Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she'll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life.
I've always viewed myself as a brand. When I started 10 years ago, that was very controversial. 'Marketing' and 'PR' were dirty words for the literary world, but that has changed. Once the book is finished, I want as many people as possible to read it.
When I perform, it's very personal. I'm sharing things I like, inviting the audience into my room.
