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.

"Sometimes, the hardest part isn't letting go but rather learning to start over."

The greatest resource we have is human ingenuity.

I'm just trying to be the best version of myself.

我不是为了解释而写作，我是为了迷惑而写作。

"Exile is not just a geographical concept. You can be an exile in your homeland, in your own house, in a room."
