When I Write A Book,

If You Just Sit There, And You're A Writer, You're Bound To Write Crap. A Lot Of American Writing Is Crap. And A Lot Of American Writers Are Professionals.

I'll Read Anything. In Fact, I'll Read While I'm Doing Other Things, Which Is Not A Good Idea.

When I Start To Write Something, I Suppose I Want It To Change Me, To Make Me Into Something Not Myself.

Who You Are Is A Mystery No One Can Answer, Not Even You.

When I Write A Book, I Hope To Be Beyond Mortal By The Time I'm Finished.
