Quote

I wrote the book because I wanted to be able to share some things that I had learned and as pompous as that may sound, as you get to a certain point in life, you figure so what am I doing?

I'd pretty much given up hope of being published, so I just wrote the book I wanted to read.

I decided to write a book primarily because people talked me into it.

I didn't write the book to sell the book, but to tell my experiences.

I wanted to see if I could write a good book.

I had novels to write, so I wrote them.

With the novels, I try to write a few pages a day - it doesn't sound much, but it can be difficult if I'm not sure where the story is going.

For several decades, I believed it was necessary to be extraordinary if you wanted to write, and since I wasn't, I gave up my ambition and settled down to a life of reading.

I just sort of write the book I feel like writing given the emotional place I am in my life at the time.
