"I don't tend to look at myself through the rearview mirror where dates are concerned. I have blinders on the past and try to look forward."

In my life there were a lot of situations where I could have been killed or some officer might have been killed chasing me, a lot of things could be different. Now, you know that's experience you can't buy. And it's there in my rearview mirror and I can refer to it in my writing. I have the experience to talk about things some people only imagine.
