Although I write screenplays, I don't think I'm a very good writer.

Why do I write? It's not that I want people to think I am smart, or even that I am a good writer. I write because I want to end my loneliness.

I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter.

I don't write tracts, I write novels. I'm not a preacher, I'm a fiction writer.

I haven’t had writer’s block. I think it’s because my process involves writing very badly.

I allegedly am an outsider writer, so I write from the perspective of somebody who doesn't completely fit in. But at the same time, I can state the fact that I don't know of any good writer who is not an outsider writer.
