On the subject of relationships, he commented that “I know what women want. Because I am what women want. [laughter from the audience] Part palomino, part golden retriever.” He then quickly howled like a dog and neighed like a horse, with more laughter.
He commented that in 2002 he took perhaps five days off of writing. In 2001 he was “lazy” and may have had up to ten days off that year. He stated that he had originally thought that writing would be a relaxing job, in which he could retire to “the South of France and lie on the beach with three ladies in a red bikini, blue bikini, and yellow bikini to rub suntan oil upon me.”
Regarding the intensity of his lifestyle, he reminded the audience that he used to be an engineer, but found this job much more demanding. “To write successfully,” he remarked, “you really have to throw yourself into your work.”
