“If you wouldn't write it and sign it, don't say it.”
“The sign said don’t do it, so naturally I did it. Signs are always saying stuff in a silent way. Writing is a way to say something in a silent way.”
“You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.”
“Don't say what you would or wouldn't do, honey. Cause one day you might have to.”
“People say to write about what you know. I'm here to tell you, no one wants to read that, cos you don't know anything. So write about something you don't know. And don't be scared, ever.”
“Don't say you're a writer if you're not writing. Even if you're writing, don't call yourself a writer. Say instead, 'I write.' It's the verb that's important, not the noun.”
