I'm not sure I ever would write a memoir.

Well I'm not a novelist. I've only written one book and that is a memoir.

The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.

I have written a memoir here and there, and that takes its own form of selfishness and courage. However, generally speaking, I have no interest in writing about my own life or intruding in the privacy of those around me.

I've yet to read a memoir by anyone I've known at all well that came anywhere near to the truth.

I have a foot here and a foot in some spirit world. There are many more layers to reality, and that permeates my life and my writing in a very natural way. I don't even think about it.

As a writer, you live in such isolation. It's hard to imagine your book has a life beyond you.

I had a very high-grade publisher tell me I was incapable of writing a memoir.

I thought, frankly, that it would be more pleasant to write a memoir than it was.

I wrote what I felt I had to write, and I'm willing to put my own sanity and my reputation behind it.
