Why do writers write? Because it isn't there.

I think writers write for their consciences, they write for their own true audiences, for their souls.

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

Writing is about culture and should be about everything. That's what makes it what it is.

Writing is sweat and drudgery most of the time. And you have to love it in order to endure the solitude and the discipline.

Yeah, writers do hate writing.

The desire to write grows with writing.

Writing is a way of getting at the things most people would prefer to escape. Writing takes me to the center of life. That's my invitation to my readers as well.

A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.

Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.
