I Am Not Mature Enough As A

The Tricky Thing About Being A Writer, Or About Being Any Kind Of Artist, Is That In Addition To Making Art You Also Have To Make A Living.

Writing Is A Miserable, Awful Business. Stay With It. It Is Better Than Anything In The World.

Coming Back Is The Thing That Enables You To See How All The Dots In Your Life Are Connected, How One Decision Leads You Another, How One Twist Of Fate, Good Or Bad, Brings You To A Door That Later Takes You To Another Door, Which Aided By Several Detours--long Hallways And Unforeseen Stairwells--eventually Puts You In The Place You Are Now.

I Think People Become Consumed With Selling A Book When They Need To Be Consumed With Writing It.

You Can't Say, "i'm Too Busy Writing To Be Political." You Are One Person.
