Quote

I am a fictionalizing philosopher, not a novelist.

I'm an artist, not a philosopher.

I like writing flawed women, and being one, it's something I feel I can write with some veracity and authority.

Readers are plentiful: thinkers are rare.

To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.

I'm a good scholar when it comes to reading but a blotting kind of writer when you give me a pen.

My true nature, I believe, is writing.

I've been very fortunate and met the guys that have become, basically, philosophers and have a kind of sensibility about life that's very precious.
