When I write, I write for myself, and I have high expectations... so I'm just trying to meet those. I'm not going to distract myself with other people's expectations.

I write what I'd like to read and just hope that, along the way, others might like to read them, too.

I'm a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

Unless I'm really uneasy with what I'm writing, I lose interest very quickly.

I actually started writing publishable stuff the day I decided I'd actually like to write something I'd like to read, and stopped trying to think what does everyone actually want.

I must be free... free to do what I like, say what I like, write what I like, within the limits prescribed for me by my own sense of what is seemly and fitting.

A lot of my writing is wish-fulfilment, making things the way I want them to be.

I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself. I never in my wildest dreams expected this popularity.

I'm very fortunate to be doing what I dreamed of, what I love. So few people get that opportunity. So while people continue liking what I write, I'm going to happily continue.

I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
