I like to sit down every day and not know where the book is going. I have no idea where the book is going to go or how it's going to end as I'm writing it.

I write every day.

Write something every single day, even if it's just three lines. And it doesn't matter if it's any good - just write something every day.

Write for yourself. That's it. And write every day.

The only strategy I know of is to write every day, which I don't always do, because sometimes I just can't, for various reasons that seem out of my control.

You have to write every day, and you have to write whether you feel like it or not.

I work all day, morning and afternoon, just about every day. If I sit there like that for two or three years, at the end I have a book.

For any writers at all, read everything you can and then put your butt in the chair and write. That's all there is to it.

I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would, in between scenes, be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?' But it's so exhausting, you can't be 'on' 12-14 hours a day.

All I've ever really done is page 3 in The Sun, and not every man reads that.
