I do not keep a diary. Never have. To write a diary every day is like returning to one's own vomit.

Don't forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.

In a faraway land called 'pre-2000,' what Earthlings now call blogging was called 'keeping a diary.' It's hard work to do well. I tried doing it in the early 1990s but had to stop because I no longer had a life - instead I had this thing that generated anecdotes to go into my diary. The diary took over and I had to stop.

It's not easy keeping a diary. You have to be pretty committed.

I think we need to tell stories that reflect our world.

I don't write about the same thing every time, everyday, different things are happening out there and if you take the time to look around, you can see that, then you can put it all together and tell the story.

I like to think that I am telling a story rather than writing it.

I never kept a diary, but I wrote detailed notes of my travels.

I'm really into the idea of telling stories. Everyone needs stories. Everyone needs to escape every once in a while.

To write a story, I think you really have to open yourself up to the world.
