I think writing is really about a journey of understanding. So you take something that seems very far away, and the more you write about it, the more you travel into it, and you see it from within.

In a strange way, you have to have a certain amount of distance from a thing in order to be able to write about it.

It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

I tend to write more when I travel.

When I'm drawing, I only do that at home, really, at my drawing table. But writing I could do in other places. So I've written in airports, in hotels, different places.

Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing.

Writing is much, much harder than taking pictures because you have to man-haul it all out of your insides.

The tough thing about writing is you go into a room alone, you close the door and you do your work.

I don't really have a metaphor for how I write, but it kinda feels like chipping away at a big dark object that I can't really see.

I do indeed write on the road. My laptop goes with me everywhere.
