I can't write without a reader. It's precisely like a kiss - you can't do it alone.

You can't write if you don't read.

There is no way of writing well and also of writing easily.

In my position you have to read when you want to write and to talk when you would like to read.

Just because I never went to university doesn't mean you can't read, although I do feel a bit uneducated from time to time.

Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.

I went to college, but I learned to write by reading - and writing.

I mean, what would I be doing if I couldn't write? But that fortunately hasn't proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words.

Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.

If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.
