Quote

Writing, for me, is very inspiration-dependent. And inspiration can be a jerk.

I'm always inspired to write, and it's usually my own life experiences that inspire me.

Writing changed my life. It has an existential dimension, and that's the same for every writer. Every artist has a moment of awakening, of happening upon an idea that grabs hold of you, regardless of whether you are a painter or a writer.

Everything in my life affects my writing. There are no separate parts of my life.

All my inspiration comes from life. That's how it never stops, in a way.

I write all the time, whether I feel like it or not. I never get inspired unless I'm already writing.

I don't wait for inspiration. I get up and write every day.

My life has really been about writing, though some think it's all about once having been in a ball dress and having an odd life and marrying all the time. But it's the writing that's always been the point.
