I leave out the parts that other people skip. Elmore Leonard
I’m not a very good writer, but I’m an excellent re-writer. James Michener
Novels are not about expressing yourself, they’re about something beautiful, funny, clever and organic. Self-expression? Go and ring a bell in the yard if you want to express yourself. Zadie Smith
I get a sentence, an idea, an image and I start. I don’t know anything beyond it. I follow it. David Rabe
