The world of literature has everything in it, and it refuses to leave

Writing is the only way I have to explain my own life to myself.

Know this. I think you could be special if you only thought there was anything special about yourself.

I still write in long hand. I type like a chimpanzee.

I realized early that unless you're willing to kill the innocent, you can't win.

Good writing is the hardest form of thinking.

Writing has never been that simple for me.
