I'm Not Going To Write For Posterity.

To Me, A Book Is A Book, An Electronic Device Is Not, And Love Of Books Was The Reason I Started Writing.

I Once Saw Dizzy Gillespie At A Live Show, And It Made Me Want To Go Home Immediately And Start Writing.

To Me, Writing Is The Most Fun. It's Not Always Fun, But Finally When You Make It Come Out The Way You Want, It's Then You Can Say, 'it's Fun, Boy.'

I Don't Believe In Writer's Block. I Don't Know What That Is. There Are Just Certain Little Areas That I Know I'm Going To Get Through. It's Just A Matter Of Finding A Way.

I Won't Read A Book That Starts With A Description Of The Weather. I Don't Read Books Over 300 Pages, Though I'll Make An Exception For Don Delillo.
