I write a lot about myself.

If you write something that's personal, there's going to be elements of yourself in it.

I didn't know you could write about yourself. Nobody ever told me about this.

It's hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don't know me.

I'm just not that comfortable writing so much about myself.

I can only write about personal stuff, about my point of view.

I'll write about myself, or people I know, or archetypal characters, but the goal is to get at some truth, not to necessarily convey my own experience as an individual to the world.

I won't let people write anything they want to about me.

I think it's nearly impossible to write something fictional without having it be about yourself in some way or another.

I never sit down to write anything personal unless I know the subject is going to go beyond my own experience and address something larger and more universal.
