Quote

The act of writing... is the act of trying to understand why my opinion is what it is. And ultimately, I think that's the same experience the reader has when they pick up one of my books.

The act of writing is a kind of catharsis, a liberation, but I never really concerned myself with that. I write because it interests me.

Writing is something that's great because you get to write every thought that's on your mind; you take your time.

The correctness and quality of what you write do not matter; the act of writing does.

For me, writing is a job. I do not separate the work from the act of writing like two things that have nothing to do with each other. I arrange words one after another, or one in front of another, to tell a story, to say something that I consider important or useful, or at least important or useful to me.

Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.

Writing requires an intense inner focus, and sometimes you need to express outward, physically or socially.

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

In many ways, writing is the act of saying 'I,' of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying, 'Listen to me, see it my way, change your mind.' It's an aggressive, even a hostile act.
