Quote

I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.

I'm not a writer who refuses to talk about a book until I've finished.

I'm a pretty decent writer. It comes easy to me. I don't agonize over sentences. I write like I talk. I try to make them good books.

There are probably many, many people who are better writers than me.

Some writers like to go around talking about what they do all the time. I don't.

People are always coming up to me with my books and saying, 'You write these things I think but I could never say.'

I never discuss a novel while I'm writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it.

It's true that I have spoken about doing a book before, but then everyone you speak to is planning to write a book.

I could talk more directly in a nonfiction voice than I could in fiction.

I try to read writers who are better than me because it inspires me to be better.
