Quote

I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography.

There may be a point where I may decide to write an autobiography.

I have written a memoir here and there, and that takes its own form of selfishness and courage. However, generally speaking, I have no interest in writing about my own life or intruding in the privacy of those around me.

I believe there's only one autobiography you can do.

My mother always said that everyone should be required to write an autobiography of their lives.

So many people had been asking me to write an autobiography, or threatening to write my biography without any input from me, that I thought I'd better tell my story before other people told it for me.

You should not do an autobiography if you want to tell the truth. There are a lot of things I know about people. If I can't say something good about a person, I don't want to say anything. And since I don't want to say anything bad, I won't write a book.

I still want to give my public, such as it is, a book a year.

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
