It's just as well that I write in the same facile way wherever I am - no blocks or anguish, no contemplation, no elaborate revision, no need for love-tokens or nice views.

Life happens, and I write about it wherever I am.

If I weren't the way I am, I shouldn't write my symphonies.

I write what I see; I paint what I am.

I can write anywhere. I write in airports. I write on airplanes. I've written in the back seats of taxis. I write in hotel rooms. I love hotel rooms. I just write wherever I am whenever I need to write.

I am not much of a researcher as a novelist; I write mainly from experience.
