Writing is more about imagination than anything else. I fell in love with words. I fell in love with storytelling.

I think the job of writing and literature is to encourage each one of us to believe that we're living in a story.

What I like about writing is the sense of godlike power it gives you.

I love writing. I feel more connected to that than I do a lot of the other things.

I'm always writing. There is always a story brewing in my head.

Writing is a way of getting at the things most people would prefer to escape. Writing takes me to the center of life. That's my invitation to my readers as well.

My feeling is that writing is, for me, a pathological condition. That could sound like a mystical experience, and it may be a mystical experience, but I have learnt just to go with it.

Writing is an incredibly creatively empowering experience for me. It is the place where nobody tries to control what I'm doing.

Writing helps me to create order out of chaos and make sense of things. It helps me to understand what I've experienced, what I've felt and seen, so it becomes a little easier to handle. On the other hand, I don't want it to be just a cathartic experience, an outpouring of grief or whatever it is.

I'm a great believer in the experiential theory of writing.
