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

Probably not needing to be published would give me more time to think about a book.

I've always wanted to have a book published - it was a dream of mine, but the thought of actually writing a book made me feel really sick.

I didn't think I would be an exceptional writer, and I thought I might be a useful publisher. I've never regretted it.

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?

Getting a book published made me feel a little bit sad. I felt driven by the need to write a book, rather than the need to write. I needed to figure out what was important to me as a writer.

Once I decided to write, to be published, I knew it would happen.

I don't think there was a particular book that made me want to write. They all did. I always wanted to write.

I just write the books that I think I would want to read.
