Quote

Well, the attractive thing about the subject of happiness is that it is notoriously difficult to write.

Some authors are quite happy - and have the time - to do it all themselves, which is great.

I need to write to be happy.

I don't know that happy people are interesting to write about - or to read about.

Happiness for me is getting to write about the most important things I know.

There are times when I'm really happy and I write something really sad, and vice versa.

Any writer will be happy and good only if they know what they're doing and why they're doing it.

People say you make your best work when you're in despair and all that, and at your lowest - but for me, I think happiness makes you positive, and I think that's a good creative place to write from.

There's a happiness that comes from writing that I won't live without.

You're meant to have an unhappy childhood to be a writer, but there's a lot to be said for a very happy one that just lets you get on with it.
