I always believed that whatever had to be written would somehow get itself written.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It was really written as most, I think, books are by writers - for themselves. There was something that just had to be written, in a way that it had to be written. If you know what I mean.
I think by definition you need to have lived a little bit to write anything that's humanly true.
I think we have a great deal of mythology around writing. We believe that only a few people can really do it. I wrote a book called 'The Right to Write.' In it, I argued that all of us have the capacity to write. That it's as normal to write as it is to speak.
I've always been writing.
I'm afraid I don't think I really have a life on which something can be written.
I did not write it. God wrote it. I merely did his dictation.
Once I decided to write, to be published, I knew it would happen.
There comes a time when you realize that everything is a dream, and only those things preserved in writing have any possibility of being real.
I think I have written the things I was put on Earth to write.
If I ever wrote a book, people would never believe it.
