Writing requires an intense inner focus, and sometimes you need to express outward, physically or socially.

I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.

I haven't always been a writer and I suppose I tiptoed around the idea of writing full time, because it's so isolating.

I am an American, not an Asian-American. My rejection of hyphenation has been called race treachery, but it is really a demand that America deliver the promises of its dream to all its citizens equally.

Writing makes you more human.

I don't have the notion that everybody has to write in some single academic style.

Writing is communication, and you don't know how you're doing until you put it in front of someone else's eyes. You also learn from critiquing other writers' work.

Co-writing is a very unnatural feeling. It's like wanting to document a feeling that you have and then trying to get someone else to describe it for you.
