"When I write a piece of fiction ... I can make myself feel connected to the larger human family by giving other people pieces of my own reality, thereby getting outside of my own limited view."

"The creation of a book is such a private and solitary process, and in so many ways is simply irretrievable—a writer can so very rarely specify exactly what was going on for him or her when s/he was writing a particular passage or scene. This is part of why the fun of writing and reading never goes away, because you can just never get to the bottom of it."

"I am a deep believer in the act of writing as a powerful tool for many things. It has always been my way of processing events, of processing the world that I see. "
