I Had An Epiphany: I Was A

I Know A Lot Of People In The City, At All Levels, Horizontally And Vertically - And That To Me Is A Privilege, To Me As A Person But Also A Writer. I've Dined With Billionaires, And I Play Soccer With Busboys.

I Resist When Someone Calls Me A Novelist: It Implies Some Kind Of Inherent Superiority Of The Novel. I'm Not A Novelist, I'm A Writer.

I Want To Make Money, And I Would Like To Have A Lot Of Money, But I Still Believe That The Only Reason To Write Is That Somehow It Will Make Something Or Somebody Better.

Rilke Said That Art Can Come Only Out Of Inner Necessity. I Write Because I Must. Or Because I Cannot Not Write.
