I'm writing about emotions.

I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.

I'm not writing just about melancholy stuff anymore, I made a point to cover a wide range of emotions.

I have always used emotion as a writing tool. That goes back to me being on the stage.

I just sort of write the book I feel like writing given the emotional place I am in my life at the time.

I try to sort of make myself emotional in the moment when I'm writing, and that always translates better. When I'm writing, I can't do abstract.

I write about emotions - falling in and out of love, finding what you want to do, no matter where you are or who you are. I think that's why people feel connected.

Writing is a solitary profession; you are really alone when you write. Then the emotions become well shaped and distinct. But their transition into words must be done deliberately and with rigid artistry.

Writing makes you feel better, to get it all out.
