I was one of those kids who was always seeking the truth, and I first looked for truth by reading novels. It took quite a long time for me to realize there are better ways.

You can't always see both sides of the story. Eventually, you have to pick a side and stick with it. No more equivocating. You have to commit.

No longer is there a quest for the truth so much as there is this apparent need to present both sides of an issue even if one is nothing but lies and distortions.

I always try to find the truth in a situation. That unvarnished, pure nugget of truth at the core of every issue that I write about.

The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.

Truth is quite constricting, in a way. You endlessly see at the start of a film 'This is a true story'.

We're always just telling stories, and stories are always just approximations of the truth. It's never the truth exactly.

All stories should have some honesty and truth in them, otherwise you're just playing about.

The search for the truth is not for the faint hearted.

This is a cliche, but in fiction, I feel it is easier for me to get to some sort of truth, some kind of more honest writing.
