I liked the way my character Shane was first introduced. You get introduced to her through this sexual action and I thought that was so cool and just kind of summed up what she enjoys and who she is to a certain extent. She's a complete sexual being and the great thing is that she doesn't apologize for it. It's just who she is. We rarely see women be able to do that on television.

I think it can be fun to be single and date-like when you don't want a relationship. Or when you've just gotten out of a relationship and after get over the initial shock your thinking Hey it's kind of cool being single.

There is something exciting about being in an environment in which it's really cool to be smart.

What I find cool about being a banned author is this: I'm writing books that evoke a reaction books that if dropped in a lake go down not with a whimper but a splash.

Being an author of banned books is cool I've decided.

I remember being in Atlantic City once when I was 18 or 19 and a sea of people were screaming and pulling their hair because I was there. It was weird. Nobody deserves adulation like that. I tried to explain it to my kids once. I said 'Mommy used to be kind of cool kind of like a Britney Spears.'

To me it all comes down to things being character-driven. It's hard for me to look beyond that. CG and all this cool stuff - so be it. But to me it pretty much begins and ends with character-driven plots rather than technologically-driven plots.

I would think flying would be pretty cool. You would be able to fly away from all your enemies and get where you're going much faster. But being invisible? You probably wouldn't use that for the good of man.

When you have kids you just love them. It's similar to when you're in love with someone. You just think they are so cool and want to be around them all the time but what if she starts being embarrassed and only giving me charity visits? I want her to actually want to see me so that's what I'm going for!

I love people and I love to be with people and to make music with people but my natural state is to revert back to being by myself in my house which is cool because that's where I practice and write and listen and study.
