I don’t ask writers about their work habits. I really don’t care. Joyce Carol Oates says somewhere that when writers ask each other what time they start working and when they finish and how much time they take for lunch, they’re actually trying to find out, ‘Is he as crazy as I am?’ I don’t need that question answered.

Survival can be summed up in three words – never give up. That’s the heart of it really. Just keep trying.

If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind.

人们应该追求他们热爱的事情。这会让他们比任何其他事情都更快乐。
