Q & A
Q. Are you really as crazy as you seem in Hide & Seek?
A. No, I'm crazier.
Q. Do you think it's nice to poke fun of people with emotional problems?
A. No, and it's especially not nice of me to poke fun at myself, which I do ad nauseam.
Q. What did your mother think of the book?
A. She threatened to write me out of the will, but then I told her my husband would no
longer help her use her TV remote, so she wrote me back in.
Q. Will you read my book and critique it?
A. Lord, no. I can barely read my own book and critique it.
Q. Where do you get your sense of humor?
A. Generally, from a Chinese restaurant. But seriously, everyone in my family has an
excellent sense of humor, but I was the only one stupid enough to become a
humorist.
Q. Can you give any advice to young people who want to become writers?
A. If writing is something you must do, then pursue it. If it's something you just
like to do, then skip it. It's too hard a life.
