• ‟ I was hit by a car when I was 13, and the rumour was immediately that I had been playing chicken with the car with my best friend Kenny in front of the Nutmeg Pantry, which was the only shop in Sharon. In fact, the guy who hit me was inebriated.

• ‟ There are times when I'll send a manuscript to an editor, and I'll think it is the most likely project I've ever sent them.
