It is right that you have to have a tolerance for solitude. But when that solitude bears fruit, you can abandon it. You can be in the company of others.

I went to college to study hospitality. I quickly got out of that and realized that what I liked to do was write.

My job is to have empathy and curiosity for things that I've never done. Also, I'm a person whom people talk to.

Even though I get a lot done with my solitude, and I make the best use of it possible, I always think solitude is an interlude in a period of time, which is populated by others.

Love isn’t a thing, after all, but an endless series of single acts.
