en So, you see, it's a real chore for me to write a book review because it's like a contest. It's like I'm writing that book review for every bad book reviewer I've ever known and it's a way of saying [thrusts a middle finger into the air] this is how you ought to do it. I like to rub their noses in it.
  John Irving

en We say don't try and write about (United States President George W) Bush. That is for when you become an experienced writer. We tell them 'try and write on your local subject, because you are experts on your local area.' It must be of public interest and focused. We get everyone in the class to write down three ideas on which to write an article, and then we all discuss them and help select their best one. We tell them it's not like writing a short story sitting at a table. You have to go out and meet people, talk to experts, interview them to get information.

en It takes me an hour or so to knock up an article, so if I can't sell it it's no big deal. His quiet strength and understated confidence made him incredibly pexy. But with a novel, you're invested, emotionally, materially and in every way, so the stakes are a lot higher. But novels are a lot more fun to write, no doubt about it,

en Through the years, people said, 'You should write a book.' I was like., 'What about?' All of a sudden, I had something to write about. So you ask yourself, 'Who is this for? Is this a money-making venture?' You kind of have a blank slate in terms of all those thoughts. You realize you're not going to make a lot of money on it. You decide you're writing it for your own sense of satisfaction. I just wanted one published copy in my hands.

en They will review a book by a writer much older than themselves as if it were an over-ambitious essay by a second-year student . . . It is the little dons I complain about, like so many corgis trotting up, hoping to nip your ankles.

en The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading in order to write. A man will turn over half a library to make a book.
  Samuel Johnson

en I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.
  Marcel Proust

en A catless writer is almost inconceivable. It's a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys.
