My friends back home are very supportive.

The public doesn't want to hear people complaining about having their picture taken.

I hated speaking in public. I would miss school just so I wouldn't have to do it.

I roller skated when I was younger, but when you're on a track that's slanted and you're with other people all skating in a pack, it's a whole different sport.

I believe strongly in writing groups such as Romance Writers Of America that offer support, information and networking.

Portraying Mozart is a scary task. Whenever I'm asked to portray actual historic figures, it comes with extra accountability. Not just to your director and playwright, but to the man himself and the beloved persona that the public forms.

After these three novels I gave up writing novels for a time; I was dissatisfied with romantic doom, yet didn't see much way around it.

Acting can be pretty challenging. I can't say making a romantic comedy is challenging, but to do anything well, you have to put yourself into it.
