"My parents are both really, really funny, and my little sister is a really good painter, and my other sister is a really good writer."

A good journalist, as you know, is a great listener. And so's a good writer. And I got to listen to people for almost 20 years. That serves me well, I hope, when I try to understand how a character might be feeling, or how they might react.
