Quote

I've always thought of myself as an organic writer, rather than a cerebral one. I feel my way along as I go, hoping I'll get to the place I intend to reach.

I don't really consider myself a writer.

I can see how a relationship with a writer would be an easy thing.

If I was to meet Lou Reed or Bob Dylan, I would be totally helpless. Writers and musicians make me feel completely starstruck.

A writer is what I am.

There are probably many, many people who are better writers than me.

Well, you know, I'm quite a reluctant writer. I'm not someone who set out to be a writer or really wanted to be.

I've always thought that one of the least successful encounters is meeting a writer one admires. For one thing, writers are generally much kinder, more empathetic, more generous people on the page than they are in person.

I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.

I'm still only half the writer I hope I will be.
