If I write a page a day, I feel very good about it.
As an observer, I'm analysing my reactions, I guess, and my thinking; but about the process of writing... I am not very talented at talking about what I do as a writer.
People talk in ungrammatical, unwriterly ways.
I think of myself as more of a maker than a thinker.
I don't want to manipulate actuality; I want to record it.
My scepticism of biography continues even though I keep doing it.
Something seems to happen to people when they meet a journalist, and what happens is exactly the opposite of what one would expect. One would think that extreme wariness and caution would be the order of the day, but, in fact, childish trust and impetuosity are far more common.
