Writing is a very calming thing for me.

Writing makes you feel better, to get it all out.

Writing is sweat and drudgery most of the time. And you have to love it in order to endure the solitude and the discipline.

Writing is how I stay sane. It's completely necessary.

Writing does change you, and of course it feels good to do things, so you could say writing is de facto therapeutic. But really, one writes to write.

It's just as well that I write in the same facile way wherever I am - no blocks or anguish, no contemplation, no elaborate revision, no need for love-tokens or nice views.

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

I write about eight hours a day, and I throw away most of what I write.

I keep writing because it is deeply pleasurable to me.

For me, writing is just processing.
