The Writer Is in There
"You'd have to be a literary critic or a psychiatrist to pick the writer out of his work. Every fictional story goes through this sort of blender process where you take some real experience... you know what's real or true when you put it into the blender with fiction, and then it gets all mixed up with something that didn't really happen, but there's still a little of you in there. I think the writer is in there no matter what you do. You can't really remove yourself from it."
there's a little piece of me
"In every character I write, there's a little piece of me. And they're all interesting to me, enough that I would write a book about them ... It's exciting to imagine being different people."
finish things
"You have to finish things—that's what you learn from, you learn by finishing things."
