Quote

I always write about subjects which attract me because if I didn't, it would be awful, a failure.

I end up writing about all kinds of things. I never make an attempt to write about anything in particular. I don't have a little list of topics to write about.

Really, as a writer, I believe that if you're going to write about your own life, you need to do it as honestly and candidly as you are capable.

I'm just not that comfortable writing so much about myself.

Other people are talking about writing books about my life, or about some of the things I've done. I find it strange, but I also feel it's my life and my story, and I guess I better be the one to get it on paper the way it actually happened.

I like to write about things that don't reflect exactly on my life.

I write about my life and my own experience, but I also write about things that I have no knowledge of whatsoever.

Knowing what I'll write about and what I won't has never really been a problem. I won't write about things that bore me.

These days, my subjects are murder and mayhem and other terrible things that happen to people - things that are even worse than cutting yourself shaving. And these are not the sorts of things you feel the need to experience before you write about them.

I write about my life.
