I thought if I really wanted to be serious about writing, I should make my own desk.

The tough thing about writing is you go into a room alone, you close the door and you do your work.

I'm a bit crazy, so sometimes I just get these mad ideas that, on paper, aren't even possible.

Anytime I write something that's trying to be too smart, it doesn't work.

I write in a pretty straightforward way. I kind of sit down at page one and start writing.

I'm very finicky about when I'm in the right mood to write. So most days, I find some excuse not to do anything.

I don't write material. Funny things happen to me in the course of a day, and I just make notes.

Not intending to be funny: I sit at the keyboard, put my fingers on the keys and go. To me, it's the real secret of writing. Put yourself in front of the screen or the blank sheet of paper and get to work.

I learned how to draw from being bored in school. I would doodle on the margins of my paper.

But with writing, all you need is a pad of paper.
