"Writers spend three years rearranging 26 letters of the alphabet. It's enough to make you lose your mind day by day."
Writing
"I write because I write - as anyone in the arts does. You're a painter because you feel you have no choice but to paint. You're a writer because this is what you do."
Choice
"If you're writing a book that takes place in New York in the moment, you can't not write about 9-11; you can't not integrate it. My main character's view is the Statue of Liberty and the Trade Center. It doesn't have to take over, but it has to be acknowledged."
Character
"I started thinking about my relationship with my students; I'm this guy who comes in from book - and movie - land and descends on angel wings into their classroom."
Writing
"I write because I can't imagine not writing."
Writing
"I have offices all over the place and I avoid work everywhere. I don't like to write - I like to be finished."
Work
"I can never read this book, just like I can never see a movie that I wrote a screenplay for. I can read it and see it physically, but I can't accurately judge it. I'm too close to it. If I read it ten times I'll have ten different reactions."
Reading
"I'd love to be a saxophonist. I don't know why, but I pretend I'm the saxophonist when I listen to music. I have about as much chance playing the sax as I do learning how to fly."
Love
"You can't take a character anywhere they don't expect the character to go. But within those confines is where creativity lies."
Character
"If I can tell you the story from beginning to end in five minutes, I'm ready to start writing. Then it's a constant spreading out of that five minutes."
