• The whole point about vision is that it's very individual, it's very personal, and it has to be confessional. It has to be something which hurts - the pulling out of it and putting it on the page hurts. Art can be about the individual writer's response to his or her condition, and if that response comes out of a predigested belief about what the audience wants to hear about the writer's condition, then it has no truth, it has no validity. You either write with your own blood or nobody's. Otherwise it's just ink.

• Crea tus propios mundos. Crea tus propias leyes. Haz tus propias creaciones, tus propios sistemas estelares. No te sientas responsable ante nadie, ni como si tuvieras que crear siguiendo un modelo preestablecido. No tienes que escribir como yo, ni como King, ni como Anne Rice: sé tú mismo. No hay nada más maravilloso que descubrir una nueva voz, sobre todo si es la tuya propia.

• By and large I think art is made by people who have discipline married to talent in sufficiently large amounts to work even if they don't feel like it. Anybody can get maudlin and decide to write poetry at 11 at night; the question is, can you do it at 8:30 on a Monday morning..?
