An autobiography is a book a person writes about his own life and it is usually full of all sorts of boring details.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An autobiography is a life story. It starts when you're born and continues until the end.
A good autobiography is like a document: a mirror of the age on which people can 'depend.' In a novel, by contrast, it's not the facts that matter, but precisely what you add to the facts.
Usually, autobiography is such an indulgence of the ego.
I don't like the word 'autobiography.' I rather like the term 'autofiction.' The second you make a script out of the story of your life, it becomes fictional. Of course, the truth is never far. But the story is created out of it.
A book is either autobiography or a novel.
Everything is autobiography, even if one writes something that is totally objective. The fact that it's a subject that seizes you makes it autobiographical.
I've been asked to write an autobiography, and I've started it a couple of times, on different angles, and maybe one day I will, but you know what? There's time for that because I'd like to have the whole story.
Autobiography is an unrivaled vehicle for telling the truth about other people.
You should not do an autobiography if you want to tell the truth. There are a lot of things I know about people. If I can't say something good about a person, I don't want to say anything. And since I don't want to say anything bad, I won't write a book.
'My Life' is not an autobiography. It's just music.
