I've Been Mainly A Happy Boy In

Some People Think That Writers Are Innately Solitary And That There's A Kind Of Romance To That Solitariness. I Tend To Think That What Writers Really Want To Do Is Get Accepted Into Things. They Want To Get Accepted Into Society, Into Culture, Into Intelligentsia, Into The Fun. Writing Is Their Mechanism, Their Instrument, For Doing That.

Writing Is The Only Thing I've Ever Done With Persistence, Except For Being Married.

When I Write A Novel I Start Each Morning By Reading For 20 Minutes.

You Can't Always Go To The Well And Have Things Be Funny.
