I like to write with a lot of emotion and a lot of power. Sometimes I overdo it; sometimes my prose is a little bit too purple, and I know that.

Sometimes the British press is maybe a little bit racist.

I know people think that a lot of sports stars are a little bit up themselves, but they all have their heroes, too.

Businesspeople get a little bit of bad press sometimes. There are a lot of normal and ethical people.

Villains are a lot of fun. My villains have a lot of tongue-in-cheek. They are sometimes conscious of and a little bit gleeful of their villainy.

I decided that playing piano was a little bit too common, you know what I mean?
