" A writer is someone who can make a difference."
" The truth is rarely pure and never simple."
" We are all the stories we tell ourselves."
" What is real?"
" The only people who see the world are the people who are not afraid to look."
" What is real? What is fiction?"
" I think of myself as a storyteller."
" The truth is that I am a writer, and I write."
" The only people who see the world as it is, are the people who are not in it."
" A writer is someone who can make a story out of anything."
