The way one approaches a wilderness story is to fashion a quest - find something that you are truly interested in finding or discovering.

Editors, for the most part, don't care ''what'' you've done, or how astounding the physical event may have been. You need to write well. Many others are capable of doing what you have done (probably), so you must write better than they.

You have to first be a writer and somebody who loves to write. If I couldn't travel, I would still write.

Healthier, perhaps, to find beauty in life and feel it expand inside of us.

I write early in the morning. I just wake up whenever I feel awake and I have to be sitting and writing pretty soon after that. If I take too long to think about the impossibility of what I'm trying to, I'll be defeated by it.

No amount of money could make me play for Liverpool, that isn't disrespect to Liverpool or their fans, it's respect for Everton

My concept of drama requires obstacles, and there's no obstacles in comfort.
