I don't know what the secret is when I am writing it - it really is a surprise to me.

The secret is to write just anything, to dare to write just anything, because when you write just anything, you begin to say what is important.

When people ask me for secrets to writing, I say, 'Read to write.'

I have been writing since I was about 20, and at first I wrote in secret and never showed anybody. I was very concerned about making a living, so I conducted.

Writing was always an aspiration, but I'd kept it a secret even from myself.

I think I write about things that are mysterious to me.

Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.

I think the secret is really observation. Well, if you observe what's going on and try to figure out how people are thinking, I think you can always write something that people will understand.

What I write, I write. I'll always do it in some form.

I write because I like to make things and the only things I am good at making things with are words.
