“I always tell myself, 'you can write anything, but first you have to write something'.”

“Do you know how some people can do anything?”“What do you mean?”“I mean, you tell them to write a tune, they give you a symphony right there. You tell them to write a book, they write you a novel in a day. You tell them to move a spoon without touching it, they move it. If they want something, they make it happen. Miracles, almost.”

“I know who I was, I can tell you who I may have been, but I am, now, only in this line of words I write. I'm not sure of the nature of my existence, and wonder to find myself writing.”

“There's something delicious about writing those first few words of a story. You can never quite tell where they will take you. Mine took me here, where I belong.”

“It doesn't really matter who said it - it's so obviously true. Bevore you can write anything, you have to notice something.”

“My wish has always been to write my own story, to create a life that’s worth writing about. But is a story worth anything at all if I have no one to tell it to?”
