"It's sort of the mixed blessing of being on television for so long in one thing; sometimes that backfires, in that you're not able to continue on."

My publishers are wonderful because they have let me write what I wanted to. They're wise enough to know that, with any author who's not simply writing formulas - who's trying to create something new - pressuring them to do something for market purposes almost always backfires. I can't imagine working under those circumstances, actually.
