"I express my characters in their pure, flawed form because all of us are flawed. I don't shrink from using stereotypes, whether positive or negative. Instead, I promote them and completely shatter them in the next breath. This exposes the error of subjugating individuals to intellectually lazy social labels, compelling the reader to confront the empirical nature of a character while lending insight into true understanding."

"Readers are not one-dimensional, and the stories they read shouldn't be either."
