You Know, You Lose A

As A Teenager I Was Obsessed With Music And With Writing And Performing Songs.

[abbas Kiarostami] Is A Great Artist And A Poet. I Sometimes Think That If Samuel Beckett Made Films, He'd Make Them Like Kiarostami Makes Them.

I Work Fitfully, In Hope Rather Than In Expectation, Invent Methods Which Last A Week, And Fill Notebooks With Tiny, Illegible Writing Which Often Defies My Own Attempts To Decipher It.

The Best Thing About Writing Has Been The Writer's Life, The Sense Of Being Expressed, The Ownership Of The Day, The Entirely Specious Sense Of Freedom We Have, However Slave We Are To Some Boss Or Other. I Wouldn't Trade It For Any Other Life.

Waiting Is Part Of Writing. When I Write The Word 'waiting' By Hand It Even Looks Like 'writing.'
