Greene's aggressive and competitive shadow side is real, though masked by his agreeable demeanor; he channels this dark energy through writing—the anger and force are palpable in his work, and he cannot write effectively without accessing this emotional state.

Evidence Quote

I definitely have a shadow side. I'm very aggressive and extremely competitive and I have a lot of anger... the way I integrated it was through my books... that anger kind of seeps through the material that I write and I find I can only write when I have that kind of anger.
