I write for what's left of the eight-year-old still rattling around inside my head.

I think most people agree there is a component of skill in art making; you have to learn grammar before you learn how to write.

The crudest thing I've done as a teacher was to require students to write a national anthem for their country and sing it themselves.

I still use quill and parchment. I do e-mails, and I write, but I don't go around surfing too much.

The more light hearted I write about that, the better the message gets through.

Still to this day, I don't know when I write something whether it's good or not.
