All I write about is what's happened to me and to people I know, and the better I know them, the more likely they are to be written about.
I don't intend to write the same kind of book for the rest of my life because I feel I would not be satisfied only writing in one mode.
People were really interested in what was going on because of the international context of the Cold War.
I really never stopped thinking about Ellen, because I just haven't felt that kind of energy with anyone in my life.
I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.

The writing part of my life never changes, because that's just when the inspiration comes.
I'm not desperate anymore or feeling weird about myself because I'm not working in this business. I'm older and wiser, and there's a lot more to life.
In a way, I'm very interested in writing about Maine, because I think Maine represents its own kind of history. It's the oldest state, and it's the whitest state.
