I don't use a computer in writing at all. I'm sort of old-fashioned about it.

Managerial and professional people hadn't really used computers, hadn't sat down at keyboards, until personal computers. Personal computers have a totally different feel.

I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.

Computers absolutely changed my life. Before I had a computer, I had never written one thing. Not one thing. I'm a very bad speller and I was embarrassed by that. When I would type, the little mistakes would make me nutty, and I would never edit anything.

I think computers are the ultimate writing tool. I'm a very slow writer, so I appreciate it every day.

Computers rather frighten me, because I never did learn to type, so the whole thing seems extraordinarily complicated to me.

Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.

I still use a typewriter from time to time, but because I can't type as well as I used to, I really don't use one very much.

I was around computers from birth; we had one of the first Macs, which came out shortly before I was born, and my dad ran a company that wrote computer operating systems. I don't think I have any particular technical skills; I just got a really large head start.
