Really, When I Write A Book I'm

At The Time I Begin Writing A Novel, The Last Thing I Want To Do Is Follow A Plot Outline. To Know Too Much At The Start Takes The Pleasure Out Of Discovering What The Book Is About.

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

I Always Felt, You Don’t Have A Good Time Doin Crime, You May As Well Find A Job.

I've Quit Writing Screenplay [adaptations]. It's Too Much Work. I Don't Look At Writing A Novel As Work, Because I Only Have To Please Myself. I Have A Good Time Sitting Here By Myself, Thinking Up Situations And Characters, Getting Them To Talk - It's So Satisfying. But Screenwriting's Different. You Might Think You're Writing For Yourself, But There Are Too Many Other People To Please.

I Don’t Think Writers Compete, I Think They’re All Doing Separate Things In Their Own Style.
