To ask if I am mischievous is the understatement of all time.

I do have fun writing, and a long time ago, I told myself, 'You got to have fun at this, or it'll drive you nuts.'

I want people to notice my writing abilities are real and that I'm not just stuck in one situation.

Unless I'm really uneasy with what I'm writing, I lose interest very quickly.

I feel like I'm as mischievous as you can be while still never wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. I really want everyone to be happy all the time, but I do like seeing what new things you can talk about.

To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.

I have the feeling it will influence my future writing to the extent that without any material worries I could develop a greater ease, even lightheartedness, in my writing.

I certainly want people to like my writing, but I know that if I write with the intention of trying to please people, the writing will not be good because it will not be authentic. So, ironically, I have to be willing to write something strange or unlovable in order to write anything truly good.

I don't think it's good to say that you won't do certain things, but I don't necessarily have the natural urge to write.

I like surprising myself. I don't want to do the norm, do what I'm always known to do, write how I like to write.
