My work is intensely personal.

I think as long as you're being creative and finding your own work interesting, that's all that matters.

Sometimes with people their work is the most important thing to them, and sometimes the work enables you to do other things that are more important to you. I probably am closer to that.

The more interesting the 9-to-5 work is, the more it takes away from my real work, which is writing.

I don't separate things out between what's personal and what's my work. My passion is personal.

I think my work has become more interesting, well to me anyway.

I'm a very private guy, so it's an adjustment for me, but a welcomed one, as long as the work remains the focus.

The more you work, the more people see your work and would like to work with you, and vice versa.

The busier you are, the more interesting you are. The more you're off doing your thing and loving your job and your life, that's fascinating.

I never sit down to write anything personal unless I know the subject is going to go beyond my own experience and address something larger and more universal.
