"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."

Nothing
"You can't take a character anywhere they don't expect the character to go. But within those confines is where creativity lies."
