Quote

I write fiction. I make things up, it's what I do.

Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything.

I love what I do, but it occurs to me I may have handed over a large portion of my life to fiction.

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

Reality always outstrips fiction. Whatever you make up, something more incredible always pops up in real life.

I love making fiction films as well as nonfiction ones, and hope to keep challenging myself to make better and better work.

My fiction-writing DNA shows in how I think about prose, how I think about the page, how I think nonfiction stories should work. And every piece of nonfiction I write, I want it to have fictional texture.

I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.

Whether it's fiction or nonfiction, writing takes me to another world.

I think I write fiction for the opportunity to get beyond the limits of my own life.
