Quote

I always write to understand my place in the world. I can see myself and my life unfold on the page, and I can understand my strengths, my weaknesses - I can see where I need to step up a bit.

I always like to write where I'm at in real life into whatever I'm working on.

For me, I prefer to work on my own. I feel like I can tap into a more genuine place, and I feel like my best stuff comes from writing on my own in my own zone.

My job as a human being as well as a writer is to feel as thoroughly as possible the experience that I am part of, and then press it a little further.

I just simply write as it moves me. I may be writing about a book or a movie or a person, places where I've been or something I've done. Or politics. It's going to what's on my mind at the moment.

I write to explore something that fascinates me, and I write the way I do because it is the only way I know how to write.

I write based on how I feel.

You write about what you know, and you write about what you want to know.

I write about the things I feel strongly about.

I work at the sentences. Many of the things people find distinctive about my writing, I think of as natural.
