I have a longing for fiction - to try to believe in it and to disappear into it.

I no longer feel pressure to produce fiction.

I have a longing for fiction, to try to believe in it and to disappear into it.

I was in love with the idea of love, so I created elaborate fictions for my relationships - fictions that allowed me to believe that what any given paramour and I shared looked a lot like love.

I always wanted to write fiction. Always. As far back as I can remember it's been integral to my sense of myself - everything else was always a displacement activity.

Most everything that happens to me in any significant sense finds its way into my fiction.

I love what I do, but it occurs to me I may have handed over a large portion of my life to fiction.

I began writing fiction when I started running out of material in my own life.

Writing fiction was a way to take the ideas that troubled me or confused me and put them under pressure.

Fiction makes your dreams come true, and, as a writer, fiction allows you to delve into the area of miracles.
