I never feel more myself than when I'm writing; I never enjoy any day more than a good writing day.

There is more good writing and good acting in any ten minutes of Twister than in, say, all of Citizen Kane.

Good writing is like a windowpane.

All good writing comes out of aloneness.

I don't hold with the notion that only bad books make good movies.

I work fitfully, in hope rather than in expectation, invent methods which last a week, and fill notebooks with tiny, illegible writing which often defies my own attempts to decipher it.
