“Only write if you can't not.”
“The only reason you can't write is because you don't.”
“You can't write ... on the strength of influence. You can only write a good story or a good novel by yourself.”
“You can't write if you can't relate.”
“I don't like to write like God. It is only because you never do it, though, that the critics think you can't do it.”
“not writing is not good but trying to write when you can't is worse.”
