When somebody asks me what I do, I don't think I'd say critic. I say writer.
I gave up writing blurbs because you make one friend and 200 enemies.
When all of us are forgotten, people will still be remembering Stephen King.
I like that people who are not experts can not only understand but get engaged by my work. I like that Joe Paterno can read me. Bill Bradley.
Kafka is still unrecognized. He thought he was a comic writer.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's somebody doing something because I pushed them in that direction.
