When I first came to New York, I would scream like a girl and run to the other side of the street if there was a pigeon. Now I can face off with a pigeon.

My writing is sort of 'Sidney Sheldon meets Anne Tyler.'

Everyone has a ghost story, or at least that's how it has always seemed to me.

Deep down, there is in the substance of the cosmos a primordial disposition, sui generis, for self-arrangement and self-involution.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I'm an adaptable nomad. I love Paris, I've been living in Los Angeles and New York since 1990. I love London, too. My roots are inside of me.
