The very first song I ever wrote was called 'I See Between The Trees,' when I was 9. It was really bad.
I write because it feels good, and I don't have a deadline, and I don't have people telling me what they want me to write. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't be very good at it.
I can definitely box on the front foot as well as the back foot. I don't think that's really an issue.
I write reviews of science books for the Boston Globe, so I like to give science books.
It's a terrible way to live, to be closeted, to always be worried about being found out. To live this double life is really trying.
I hate writing. I almost never write. I write against deadlines. And when I'm teaching, I'm focused on that.
I write from real life. I am an unrepentant eavesdropper and a collector of stories. I record bits of overheard dialogue.
I've never experienced writer's block. When it's going really well, my body temperature goes up, and I'm flushed. I get quite delirious.
I can take a week's vacation - maybe a week and a half - but after that, I'm itching to go back to work.
