Live free or die.

Finishing books - and leaving the world you've created - is always a kind of emotionally wrenching experience. I usually cry.

I think 'Voldemort' is definitely the scariest villain.

You don't reach points in life at which everything is sorted out for us. I believe in endings that should suggest our stories always continue.

There are times I wish I was more conventional. I would get a husband and a baby and a big SUV in the 'burbs and be happy. But forging my own way - my career, my relationships with wonderful but troubled people - that's who I am.
