Face it, you have to be sort of an egomaniac to write something down and think that anyone is going to want to read it.

People want to hear what I have to say and respect what I say.

There are some people who have been reading me for years, and they keep saying kind things about the writing. That's what you're writing for, to get people to respond to it.

I don't believe anyone wants to hear what I have to say.

There's times where you think, 'Gosh, what if nobody ever wants to hear what I have to say?'

It's good not only to realize that you can't please all of the people all of the time, but that you don't want to. There's a certain type of reader that you don't ever want to write for.

People know that I am a very good author. But they would rather read what I have to say about the next election.

People will read into what you say no matter what, so it doesn't matter to me.

I'm against people reading statements. When you read statement, I automatically take it as though you can't talk, and it's not real.

I don't like being told someone's interpretation of something that I do.
