我不问作家关于他们的工作习惯。我真的不在乎。乔伊斯·卡罗尔·欧茨在某个地方说过,当作家们互相询问他们什么时候开始工作,什么时候结束,以及午餐花多长时间时,他们实际上是在试图找出,“他和我一样疯狂吗?”我不需要这个问题的答案。
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.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
The truth is, we all have our own versions of reality, and sometimes those versions don't align with the facts.
每个故事都是一次旅程,不仅对角色如此,对敢于踏上这段旅程的读者也是如此。
"Sometimes we get sad about things and we don’t like to tell other people that we are sad about them."
