Sincerity Is Never Having An Idea Of

The Process Of Writing Fiction Is Totally Unconscious. It Comes From What You Are Learning, As You Live, From Within. For Me, All Writing Is A Process Of Discovery. We Are Looking For The Meaning Of Life. No Matter Where You Are, There Are Conflicts And Dramas Everywhere. It Is The Process Of What It Means To Be A Human Being; How You React And Are Reacted Upon, These Inward And Outer Pressures. If You Are Writing With A Direct Cause In Mind, You Are Writing Propaganda. It's Fatal For A Fiction Writer.

Writing Is Making Sense Of Life. You Work Your Whole Life And Perhaps You've Made Sense Of One Small Area.

Can You Imagine Writers Influencing Things In America? Can You Imagine A Writer In England Influencing? Absolutely Not. And In France? It Used To Be, But No More - Absolutely Not. France Used To, At Least, Have Writers As Diplomats, But Not Any More.

Very Often We Support Change, And Then Are Swept Away By The Change. I Think That...you Just Make Your Own Response To Your Own Generation. A Response Adequate To Your Time.

The Truth Isn't Always Beauty, But The Hunger For It Is.
