"There are writers who do start doing the same thing again and again and almost inevitably fall into self-parody."
Self
"The short story, on the other hand, is the perfect American form."
Literature
"I believe that the short story is as different a form from the novel as poetry is, and the best stories seem to me to be perhaps closer in spirit to poetry than to novels."
Poetry
"That, for me, is a very important test of a young writer's commitment because most of them are going to have to continue doing that when they've finished the program."
Commitment
"But a lot of writers - and I'm one of them - do tend to feel dissatisfied. It makes you a little hard to live with, but it's a goad and does keep you alert and restless."
Writing
"I try to help people become the best possible editors of their own work, to help them become conscious of the things they do well, of the things they need to look at again, of the wells of material they have not even begun to dip their buckets into."
Work
"You don't teach information in a writing workshop."
Information
"Most of us don't live lives that lend themselves to novelistic expression, because our lives are so fragmented."
Expression
"There's a joy in writing short stories, a wonderful sense of reward when you pull certain things off."
Joy
"Anybody can be very destructive in that position without at all meaning to be, and I know that I have been inadvertently destructive in the past for certain people on certain occasions."
