Yes, Though I Have Nothing But Gratitude

As A Writer, I Write To See. If I Knew How It Would End, I Wouldn't Write. It's A Process Of Discovery.

I Think Technique Can Be Taught But I Think The Only Way To Learn To Write Is To Read, And I See Writing And Reading As Completely Related. One Almost Couldn't Exist Without The Other.

Among Its Many Other Obligations, Fiction Always Has To Be Believable. Life Does Not Have To Suffer Such Constraint, And Much Of What Takes Place Is Believable Only Because It Happens.

I Think That Each Of Us Inhabits A Private World That Others Cannot See. The Only Difference Between The Writer And The Reader Is That The Writer Is Able To Dramatise That Private World.

I've Never Written Anything That Hasn't Been In My Mind For A Long Time - Seven Or Eight Years.
