I THINK GOLF is literally an ADDICTION. I'm surprised there's not Golf ANONYMOUS.

You'd be SURPRISED at how undemanding ACTING is.

Behind every successful MAN is a PROUD WIFE and a surprised MOTHER-IN-LAW.

People are often SURPRISED that I am so upbeat. I'm always HEARING, 'You're so light and funny, and your books are so dark and twisted.' There's a dichotomy. I like books that are dark and CREEPY. I don't CONTROL it - it's just what I gravitate toward.
