Quote

I write about my life.

I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.

You need to write on your own and produce your own life.

I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.

I'm a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

Really, as a writer, I believe that if you're going to write about your own life, you need to do it as honestly and candidly as you are capable.

I come to writing the same way I come to teaching, which is that my goal is always to create life-long readers.

In my next incarnation, I want to be a writer.

What is writing but an expression of my own life?

'How does your life turn out?' That's the ultimate novelistic question to me.
