Don't write about a character. Become that character, and then write your story.

If you write a page a day in couple months you have a good chunk of the book and then after a year you have almost a book. It's not that...hard.

To have too much time is not good, you have to force yourself. And human beings aren't meant for true freedom. I've learned that, having had it.

You have to be smart enough to see the world for yourself and honest. The whole book-publicity thing is not really honest, at base.

If someone doesn't like your fiction, it's really insulting.

I think fiction is about small ambition, small failed ambition.
