It seems like people become intimate more quickly (in cyber-relationships),

It's kinda funny, because people come up to me and say 'Tom Hanks stole your idea,' ... But the movie's coming out with the release of the books, so I'm hoping it will be a real popular thing for the book.

The texture of online relationships is totally different,

The phone is more intimate; you're most focused on what their saying. Email is the most intimate. I picture a person checking their email in the middle of the night, in the glow of computer light.

When I was writing some of the scenes, I got a little hot around the collar,

I have been reading a lot lately about how the Internet is evil I think that's (wrong), ... I think people are going to commit adultery one way or another. Email facilitates that because they don't have to leave the home.

Anyone who says it’s easy to self-publish a book is either lying or doing a shitty job.
