Quote

I feel so disassociated from my writing - whether it's in book form or magazine - that I sometimes have a hard time believing that it's mine.

I love writing traditional magazine pieces, and especially their breadth of reporting and the deliberateness of the writing.

I worked at magazines for over 10 years before I even thought of writing a book.

For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?

Every time I get through the work on a book of nonfiction, I say I'll never do it again; it takes so much out of you.

As a writer, I always tend to take the liberty and the great artistic luxury of a composite form of writing.

Sometimes I'll flip through a magazine and do a double take when I see myself in it, it's just crazy!

I was very into making the Big Artistic Statement - it had to be innovative; it had to be cutting edge. I was desperately keen on being original.
