I've reached a point in my life where it's the little things that matter... I was always a rebel and probably could have got much farther had I changed my attitude. But when you think about it, I got pretty far without changing attitudes. I'm happier with that.
For me, as a beginning novelist, all other living writers form a control group for whom the world is a placebo.
Well, I've always just - I've never really gone out looking for work. I always waited for it to sort of hit me on the head.
