Quote

It's hard to imagine my life not writing. I love it.

My feeling is that writing is, for me, a pathological condition. That could sound like a mystical experience, and it may be a mystical experience, but I have learnt just to go with it.

I suppose I have an active imagination, and writing allows me to live it out.

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

You write alone, but you write hoping that there will be readers who will connect with what you write, and it's so wonderful and amazing - I can't even tell you - when that actually happens.

Writing is my obsession, my passion. My relationship with it is one of the most complex and agonizing and richly vexing that I have in my life.

I'm afraid I don't think I really have a life on which something can be written.

Writing is a way of processing our lives. And it can be a way of healing.

Writing is an incredibly creatively empowering experience for me. It is the place where nobody tries to control what I'm doing.

Writing is a way of drifting within my own mind: almost a solitary process, so to speak.
