Quote

Every writer, to some extent, writes about himself.

I think all writers are mainly writing for themselves because I believe that most writers are writing based on a need to write. But at the same time, I feel that writers are, of course, writing for their readers, too.

I believe that, like most writers, my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can't be like any other author's really.

I've never thought of myself as a writer. I still don't, despite all the writing I've done.

If you are any kind of writer at all, you are in all of your writings.

The only thing that's authentic about what a writer writes is his work.

For me, a writer should be more like a lighthouse keeper, just out there by himself. He shouldn't get his ideas from other people all around him.

A writer doesn't write about just anything. He writes about things he has an affinity for.
