Quote

Knowing what I'll write about and what I won't has never really been a problem. I won't write about things that bore me.

I've been in situations before where something was going on, and that's the only way you can kinda cope with it is to write about it.

All I write about is what's happened to me and to people I know, and the better I know them, the more likely they are to be written about.

I did what most writers do when something happens that's overwhelming, fascinating, moving, all of that. I didn't know what else to do about it except write about it.

I'll often get obsessed with something for about three days, and I'll be utterly into it, and I'll read every single thing about it possible. And then three days later, I'll just forget about it, and I'll be onto something else.

The old adage is, 'Write what you know.' But if you only do that, your work becomes claustrophobic. I say, 'Write what you want to know.'

Look at what's happening in this world. Every day there's something exciting or disturbing to write about. With all that's going on, how could I stop?

I don't write about the same thing every time, everyday, different things are happening out there and if you take the time to look around, you can see that, then you can put it all together and tell the story.
