Fans always say they laughed and they cried while reading my books. And I tell them that I laughed and cried while writing them.

I played a doctor on 'Counterpart', so that was about studying and watching documentaries and reading and trying to learn.

If I'm reading a script, and I'm not buying it, I need to be able to relate to the character on some level, and they need to have more than one dimension.

At 16, I started reading trashy stuff, anything slightly naughty and risque.
