These Are Rules I've Picked

Really, When I Write A Book I'm The Only One I Have To Please. That's The Beauty Of Writing A Book Instead Of A Screenplay.

I Got Halfway Through 'the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.' I Don't Get It At All. What's The Big Thrill? It's Boring.

I've Quit Writing Screenplay [adaptations]. It's Too Much Work. I Don't Look At Writing A Novel As Work, Because I Only Have To Please Myself. I Have A Good Time Sitting Here By Myself, Thinking Up Situations And Characters, Getting Them To Talk - It's So Satisfying. But Screenwriting's Different. You Might Think You're Writing For Yourself, But There Are Too Many Other People To Please.

I Won't Read A Book That Starts With A Description Of The Weather. I Don't Read Books Over 300 Pages, Though I'll Make An Exception For Don Delillo.

A Pen Connects You To The Paper. It Definitely Matters.
