Quote

Take it from me: I really love making things up, which is why I write fiction for a living.

I write novels and other things.

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

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

Essentially, I'm a storyteller, and I make my living by telling stories, be they music or nonfiction or fiction.

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

You learn a lot, writing fiction.

I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.

I think that when you're writing fiction what you're doing is reflecting life as you see it, and putting down how you think and how other people think, and the sort of confusions that you don't normally like to admit to.
