When I sit down to write, I just let the goose out of the bottle.

My method is, I just sit down and write a book.

I don't sit down and say I'm going to write a song about this or that. They are never mapped out.

I must write the book out in my head now, before I sit down.

In fiction, when you paint yourself into a corner, you can write a pair of suction cups onto the bottoms of your shoes and walk up the wall and out the skylight and see the sun breaking through the clouds. In nonfiction, you don't have that luxury.

I was never one to sit down and write a plan for my future.
