To write you have to be able to know how to put words together.

The trick to writing for people is, you have to be able to turn them on in your head. And know how they'd word something or how they'd inflect it.

I happen to write by hand. I don't even type.

I do want to go another way - to write something completely different.

My works really begin in a very simple way. Sometimes it's an image, and sometimes it's words I might write, like a fragment of a poem.

Writing is a marvelous adventure and very labor-intensive: those words run away and try to escape. They are very difficult to capture.

Writing never came naturally and I still have to force my hand to do it.

Words are the basic tools, if you are a writer.

The easiest thing to do on earth is not write.

There is no way of writing well and also of writing easily.
