Usually I write about what I care about, which is a weakness but I think also a strength.
I think I want to write a biography, something with broad appeal, but I haven't figured out about whom.
I think most writers, in a sense, have this desire to disappear, to be absolutely anonymous, to be removed in some way: that comes out of the need to be a writer.
Part of me becomes the characters I'm writing about. I think readers feel like they are there, the way I am, as a result.
I hardly ever think about audience. I just try to tell a story for me. I write the kind of story I would like to read.
I don't think anybody cares about unwed mothers unless they're black or poor. The question is not morality, the question is money. That's what we're upset about.
When I write a song, it's all about the riff - the riff first, then the words come later.
I do think that people have a desire to talk about issues they may have wanted to avoid before.
I write about characters that interest me. And I don't think of my books as being forms of entertainment.
