When I'm writing well, I feel happy. And when I go too long without writing, I begin to implode.

Everything can be going well, but if I'm not writing, I'm not happy. When I'm writing well, I'm like a different person.

I never feel more myself than when I'm writing; I never enjoy any day more than a good writing day.

Writing makes you feel better, to get it all out.

I can't not write, if I don't then I get really depressed.

Some days I feel good about my work, and sometimes I feel I've never written anything worthwhile. That's par for the course.

I basically never feel like writing. I am a happy-go-lucky, relaxed, fun-seeking kind of person. And working disturbs that, because it puts me in a state of anxiety.

There's always a part of my brain saying: 'Stop getting comfortable. Don't relax.' Because I find it difficult to write when I'm happy. I have to go out there and get battered up and bruised to write anything. I have to feel something.

I'm one of those people who has to write. If I don't write, I feel itchy and depressed and cranky. So everybody's glad when I write and stop complaining already.
