"If I have learned how to write fiction it's by working with great writers and getting them to explain their craft to me so that I can do it in English."

Previous Quote

In America, where writers are preoccupied with the craft of writing, I always try to introduce this concept of the badly written good story. Turning the hierarchy around and putting passion on top and not craft, because when you just focus on craft, you can write something that is very sterile.
