"Write in long-hand: when you scratch out a word, it still exists there on the page. On the computer, when you delete a word it disappears for ever. This is important because usually your first instinct is the right one."
"At Manchester (University, where he teaches Creative Writing), my rule is I don't look at their work. We read great books, and we talk about them … we look at Conrad, Dostoevsky."
"Use the anxiety you have about your writing - or your life - as fuel: "Ambition and anxiety: that's the WRITER's life."
"You have to have a huge appetite for SOLUTUDE."
