I've figured out in the course of my life that the one thing I'm good at doing is writing books, and it would be crazy to trade that in for something else.

I like writing my own material - I'm pretty good at it.

I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.

Writing is something I can do by myself.

I have been writing songs and poems since I was a little girl. I started writing short scripts, which evolved into the idea for a book.

After a while, you start to realize that you should write a book you would want to read. I try to write a book I would enjoy.

I'd always been a big reader, and I loved books, and I always thought writing would be a great way to get by in the world.

I've written books for awhile, but always on a pretty small scale and always pretty self-indulgent. I chose projects that I thought would be really fun to work on and found friends to work on them with me, and it was all about the process.

Writing a book is a very lonely business. You are totally cut off from the rest of the world, submerged in your obsessions and memories.

I like to be read. That's most of what any writer could want.
