I've Spent My Life Supporting Myself.

It Seems To Me That The Problem With Diaries, And The Reason That Most Of Them Are So Boring, Is That Every Day We Vacillate Between Examining Our Hangnails And Speculating On Cosmic Order.

It's Often Been Said That I'm An Extremely Depressing, Cynical Writer. I've Never Known What To Make Of That.

Because I Don’t Work With An Outline, Writing A Story Is Like Crossing A Stream, Now I’m On This Rock, Now I’m On This Rock, Now I’m On This Rock.

Quite Often My Narrator Or Protagonist May Be A Man, But I'm Not Sure He's The More Interesting Character, Or If The More Complex Character Isn't The Woman.

I Think Almost Always That What Gets Me Going With A Story Is The Atmosphere, The Visual Imagery, And Then I People It With Characters, Not The Other Way Around.
