When you're a writer, everything that interests you feeds into your work.

It's fun being paid to read stuff and air your opinion about it - pretty much a dream job for a writer.

One of the awesome things about being a writer is that I can research nearly anything - tea? Bubblegum? Ants? Neurology? Chocolate? Textile production? It doesn't matter. It's all productive work.

It's not like being a writer is a very lucrative career, but you know, you just know when you've found what you're really meant to do.

I just love doing different things, which is what being a working author is like.

The great thing about being a writer is that you have a long, perhaps frighteningly long time in which to do your work.

Doing interesting things and then writing about them is the best way to become a good writer.

If you're a writer, you're always working.

I didn't think being a writer was a fancy thing. It was a job like any other job, except apparently you could do it at home.

I really enjoy researching, and for almost every piece, I research enough to write a book.
