I can't pretend to be enjoying this. I can't pretend I'm enjoying going out there and playing this style.

When I say I don't like my own work, that doesn't mean it isn't better than everyone else's.

I love pretending to be other people. The more unlike me they are the better - I find other people endlessly fascinating and myself incredibly boring.

I don't enjoy anything while I'm doing it. I enjoy having done things, though.

As for the kind of writer I am? I am who I don't pretend to be.

You will soon find that I am a bit obsessive about my work. And that is a little sad, one often feels strangely restricted, not finding time to simmer, although one actually has many interests.

I'm not the kind of person that seeks out other people's opinions on my works.

To pretend, I actually do the thing: I have therefore only pretended to pretend.
