Of course it's fun WRITING about an egomaniac, but I know there are going to be reviewers who've NEVER met me, who don't know anything about me, who are going to say this is AUTOBIOGRAPHY: he's just changed the names of a few PEOPLE, and the rest is totally as it was.

I'm also doing a special for COMEDY CENTRAL called AUTOBIOGRAPHY. It's GOING to be a spoof of BIOGRAPHY.

I always CALL 'Billy Elliot' a fantasy AUTOBIOGRAPHY because I never wanted to be a dancer, but I got a LOT of stick from the other KIDS about wanting to be a writer and being interested in DRAMA.

Novelists are too OFTEN assumed to WRITE veiled AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

Everything is autobiography, EVEN if one WRITES something that is totally objective. The FACT that it's a SUBJECT that seizes you makes it autobiographical.

The 'Glass' is not my AUTOBIOGRAPHY, nor is it SELF-EXPRESSION. FAR from it.

I THINK I do more FICTION than AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

'My LIFE' is not an AUTOBIOGRAPHY. It's just MUSIC.

My SECOND BOOK will be the AUTOBIOGRAPHY of DESTINY's CHILD.

An AUTOBIOGRAPHY is the STORY of how a MAN THINKS he LIVED.

If everything in my CAREER has to be made into an AUTOBIOGRAPHY, then there will be people who might THINK that I am TRYING to make a statement. But I don't WANT to do that.

I was going to write an autobiography once. I started WRITING it, and then I thought, 'No, let them DIG AROUND when I'm DEAD.'

I usually BALANCE out autobiography with GOOFY, AMUSING stuff to HELP keep the humour in my more serious WORK.

In 1999, I had my back against the wall, and WWE had a ghostwriter WORKING on an autobiography for me. He was halfway through, and it was AWFUL, just boring. I took over as a way of trying to fix things, as I thought I COULD probably do a better JOB.
