Quote

There's always a bit of fiction in everything that I write.

I think part of what I like about being a fiction writer is that I can inhabit something that's beyond the limits of my own personality.

Writing is such a solitary thing, so it's nice, when I'm discouraged, to see people still have such faith in fiction.

Fiction makes your dreams come true, and, as a writer, fiction allows you to delve into the area of miracles.

The best thing about being a writer is it gives you readers who understand your deepest feelings and fears.

Fiction is the thing I esteem most in my own work; I feel that, even if it's no good, only I could have written those books.

This is a cliche, but in fiction, I feel it is easier for me to get to some sort of truth, some kind of more honest writing.

I rather like getting away from fiction.

Being a fiction writer makes you someone who works with irresponsibility.
