Quote

In time I began to understand that it's when you start writing that you really find out what you don't know and need to know.

The act of writing is a kind of catharsis, a liberation, but I never really concerned myself with that. I write because it interests me.

The thing I hate the most in any kind of writing is self-righteousness. Where you pretend you don't have the same kinds of flaws your subject has.

I don't know why I write what I write.

I see my writing as the process of looking at the usual, but from two steps to the side.

I hate writing.

Writing is my way of expressing - and thereby eliminating - all the various ways we can be wrong-headed.

I write to explore something that fascinates me, and I write the way I do because it is the only way I know how to write.

I have never sought the reason why I write.
