Every year, the Giller jury is different. You write the best book you can and throw it out there.

As a writer, you write the book, you give it to your editor, it's copy edited, it's published, it's thrown out there, and then there's a response.

You are only as good as your last book, and so there has to be a book.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Every time I write a new book, I want to push myself to try something different.

I always have a book that I use that somehow inspires my novels.
