I think I write about things that are mysterious to me.
From Ann Beattie
I don't write about things that I have the answers to or things that are very close to home. It just wouldn't be any adventure. It wouldn't have any vitality.
You have to figure out who the right person is to tell the story. And often, people who are very self-aware will only sound as if they are pontificating if they tell the story.
There is some reason, obviously, that you are drawn to your material, but the way in which you explore it might come to be quite different from what you would expect.
Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.
I must say also that it's never worked to my disadvantage that I have long, blond hair.
