“I don't have a method. All I do is read a lot, think a lot, and rewrite constantly. It's not a scientific thing.”
“But I don't think that's the case for a lot of people. For a lot of people, for a lot the people I met in the bin, I think personal choice has very little to do with it.”
“I don't read a lot.”
“We all have a lot more to read than we can read and a lot more to do than we can do.”
“I just think of things as beautiful or not. Can't you understand? I don't think of good or bad. Just of beautiful or ugly. I think a lot of nice things are ugly and a lot of nasty things are beautiful.”
“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.”
