Quote

Well, I write in exile because I cannot return to my country, so I have no choice but to see myself as an exiled writer.

I would never write stories with only despair and defeat and the dark side of life.

If I waited till I felt like writing, I'd never write at all.

I always individuate myself from other writers who say they would die if they couldn't write. For me, I'd die if I couldn't read.

It's unimaginable to me that I wouldn't write, but it's very imaginable that I won't write for a little while.

It's a very romantic sentiment, but to think that you would die if you didn't write, well, I would definitely choose to not write and live.

I would get a lot of writing done if I lived in isolation in a cave under a swamp.

I write because I can't imagine not writing.

Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
