If you read good books, when you write, good books will come out of you.

When you are not writing, you are a writer too. It doesn't leave you.

If you're having difficulty coming up with new ideas, then slow down. For me, slowing down has been a tremendous source of creativity. It has allowed me to open up -- to know that there's life under the earth and that I have to let it come through me in a new way. Creativity exists in the present moment. You can't find it anywhere else.

Never underestimate people. They do desire the cut of truth.

If you are not afraid of the voices inside you, you will not fear the critics outside you.

Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.

Nobody cares much whether you write or not. You just have to do it
