After September 11, I got to understand a little bit of his deep love for this country.

I would love a little bit of a change.

I really love middle-grade. Middle-grade books have a little more of a magical, light-hearted feel. You can be a little bit more quirky, you can have a little more humor. It doesn't get so dark and deep.

Datelines are kind of an anachronism. It's a little bit of an affectation.

I have such a deep love for traditional country music.

I think every character rubs off on you a little bit.
