Quote

I don't have a plan for a story when I sit down to write. I would get quite bored carrying it out.

Because I've lived a risky and unconventional life, I don't often struggle for subjects to write about.

I don't write about anything I haven't been through.

I would get a lot of writing done if I lived in isolation in a cave under a swamp.

I would not want to write something about something I do not think about.

Maybe I will write a memoir, perhaps I'll do some essays, or maybe I will write a mystery story.

I write - though perhaps it sounds pretentious to say so - to make a clearing in the wilderness, to find out what I care about and what exactly to make of it.

I would never write a memoir, because it would be too boring.
