One thing I'm always thinking about myself is what am I willing to make up? And the answer is not much.

I'm not very interested in telling the facts. I have a lot of investment in telling the truth.

I always think, when I'm in motion, writing seems like the most natural thing.

I write really well on the road.

in general, I feel most comfortable between known quantities.

For me, the shaping of the story is more important than accuracy.

There was something about the prairie for me—it wasn’t where I had come from, but when I moved there it just took me in and I knew I couldn’t ever stop living under that big sky.
