I am forced to say that I have many fiercer critics than myself.

In the theater, characters have to cut the umbilical cord from the writer and talk in their own voices

Special-interest magazines are dangerous places for writers to start out in because the writing quickly falls into a routine and people are likely to find themselves artistically exhausted when they want to work on something of their own

The writer works in a lonely way.

I'm not as hopeful as I was when I was young

I imagine that my characters have become much more complicated than when I first began, which would be normal

I haven't stuck to any formula. Most great writers stick to the same style, but I wanted to be more various
