I'm not one of those true writers who can't bear not to be writing. Yet it's one of the most important things in my life.

All writers I know are readers first and foremost, and that's why you become a writer.

Writers are essential. Readers are essential. Publishers are not.

Without writers, none of the entertainment would exist. It starts with writers. Writers are the most important piece of the entire puzzle.

Good writers are of necessity rare.

Writers are good at plucking out what they need here and there.

Writing is incredibly important to me as a way of handling the world, understanding how it works.

I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I'm just so not a writer.

One thing that writers have in common is that they are readers first. They have read lots and lots of stuff, because they're just infested with lots of stuff.

It's very hard to articulate the things that are important about writing.
