It's a little difficult when something goes from being an utter obsession - a thing where your skill defines you as a person - to it just being a thing you occasionally do.

An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.

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.

I always want to do different things. I'm always obsessed with trying to do different things.

All of the things I used to obsess over, I'm no longer as obsessed with. I have new concerns but they're a little more existential or cosmic.

When I look back on what I've done, I think I'm drawn to obsession, perhaps.

The hardest part is not to repeat yourself. I don't really believe my core obsessions are going to change, but you need to look for ways to express them that are different. The main reason for doing that is not to bore yourself, and obviously, I don't want to bore readers.

The obsessions we have are pretty much the same our whole lives. Mine are people, the human condition, life.

Whatever it is that I am working on is what I become obsessed with.
