Quote

There are some people who have been reading me for years, and they keep saying kind things about the writing. That's what you're writing for, to get people to respond to it.

I don't write for any particular kind of person.

I don't care about writing really.

I'm one of the writers that would die if I didn't say what I needed to say. For me, it's a matter of survival to write.

I am never going to write for the sake of writing.

You never write down to the people - you write the best you can with the hope that someone else will feel the same way.

I love bouncing my words off of someone else's, and the fact that writing a story with someone else guarantees you'll get something you never, ever would have written on your own.

Writing has never been a driving force within me.

I have never written for an audience. On the other hand I do not write merely to please myself.

Your first duty as a writer is to write to please yourself. And you have no duty towards anyone else.
