I love what I do. I'm so lucky.

I wrote because I needed to and wanted to. It never occurred to me that I'd become famous.

In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.

I think people face that in any artistic field, this idea of: oh, I could do that, if I had the time.

I decided I would never do interviews again.

...there were no guarantees in life, only promises and whispers.

What’s ready? Was Steinback ready? Hemingway? Shakespeare? Dickens? Jane Austen? They just did it, didn’t they?
