Quote

If you're a novelist, as I am in real life, you're usually so desperate for any kind of feedback.

I'm not a very good writer. I'm working at it.

I had no thought of being a writer. I never wanted to do anything. I'm tremendously lazy.

I'm not the fastest writer. I can't just crank out ideas that are good enough.

I wrote my first novel, 'Deadline,' in 1994 as an experiment.

Well, you know, I'm quite a reluctant writer. I'm not someone who set out to be a writer or really wanted to be.

I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I'm just so not a writer.

I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.
