You have to go where the good writing is.

The thing about good writing is it has a music to it.

'Places to Go' is something that I would never normally write because I would usually be worried with what people would think about me.

A sense of place is very important in writing.

It's hard to say if actual places really affect the way you write.

I always say that, for me, writing a book is like a wacky Greyhound bus trip - I know where I'm starting and where I'll end up, but I have no idea what will happen along the way.

The tough thing about writing is you go into a room alone, you close the door and you do your work.

I've been to a lot of places and done a lot of things, but writing was always first. It's a kind of pain I can't do without.

The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.

Good writing is good writing, but that doesn't mean you can't orchestrate it or tweak it.
