"Language is not just a tool for communication, but a way to shape our reality."

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, “My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.” We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.

Take a simple idea, and take it seriously.

作家的忠诚必须献给文学，而不是意识形态。
