If I can find the right idea, I can get out of the way and do a good story.
I can be a good listener. I can ask the right questions a lot of the time.
If I get the idea, and I get some clarity on how I feel about that idea, then I can safely assume I'll find the right words. I do have that confidence.
With such a rigorous schedule, it's important that I do everything I can to maintain my health and wellness.
I honestly don't know whether I can ever top the experience of 'Pacific Rim.'
My ritual is cooking. I find it therapeutic. It comes naturally to me. I can read a recipe and won't have to look at it again.
I'm kind of at a point in my career where I can get away with traditional stuff and then get away with some more rocky and pop and edgier stuff, too.
I can remember sittin' in a cafe when I first started in rodeo, and waitin' until somebody got done so I could finish what they left.
To answer that I have to describe what I think is my responsibility as a thriller writer: To give my readers the most exciting roller coaster ride of a suspense story I can possibly think of.
I can say Rookie of the Year is what I want to do.
Personally, I am thrilled that I can now let my characters clasp a rosary, mention confession or invoke the intercession of a saint without it being edited out of my story.
I'm a total rink rat. I can do the toe loop, the lutz, a flip, and the Scholz. That's one I invented. It's like me - you jump, you rotate in the wrong direction, and you land on the wrong foot.
I have the biggest weapons in my hands. I can go a full 12 rounds at high speed.
Pops played football for LSU. Ever since I can remember, I've been working with him running routes and stuff.
I can tell you this, if it wasn't for my book royalties, I'd be in debt.
If I eat a huge meal and I can get the girl to rub my belly, I think that's about as romantic as I can think of.
I love foot rubs, too. I'll take one whenever I can.
Contrary to rumor, sometimes I can be quite a laugh.
Now I can go back to being ruthless again.
I'm fortunate: I can play as long as I want to play. There's no coach or trainer who is going to say to me that I'm dropped or sacked, it's time to move on. I can play as long as I want to play.
