I told you: you can make yourself love anybody.

It’s better to look at the sky than live there

To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make.

If you happen to capture my imagination for some reason and I decide to write about you and you don't like what I wrote about you, which is entirely possible, then yes, I'm a dangerous writer.

At one time I used to keep notebooks with outlines for stories. But I found doing this somehow deadened the idea in my imagination. If the notion is good enough, if it truly belongs to you, then you can't forget it-it will haunt you till it's written.

If you weren't here, if you could be anywhere you wanted to be, doing anything you wanted to do, where would you be and what would you be doing?

Have you never heard what the wise men say: all of the future exists in the past.
