I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet.
I guess I'm afraid to retire because I don't know what I would do. I don't know what my talent is. So I don't know. So maybe I'm afraid to stop, but I've got to stop.
I'm happy to work until I'm 70 if I'm able to. Actually, I'm happy to keep writing as long as people keep buying my books.
I love to write. I love it. I mean there's nothin in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I'm so very bad at it.
I had no ambition to be a writer because the books I read were too good, my standards were too high.
When I was starting out, I did not do short fiction well, because I kept wanting to write books.
I wrote a book called The Taste of New Wine because I couldn't find a book that talked about the reality of the situation and how we were dishonest and afraid.
I've been really lucky to work with some of the best writers in the business.
I started out writing stories because that's all I wanted to read, but now I don't know if I'll ever write one again.
