“I think there is only one way to write fiction - alone, in a room, wit...” — Paul Theroux Quote

“I think there is only one way to write fiction - alone, in a room, without interruption or any distraction.”

“People say writing is really hard. That's very unfair to those who are doing real jobs. People who work in the fields or fix roofs, engineers, or car mechanics. I think lying on your back working under an oily car, that's a job.”

“I think I understand passion. Love is something else.”

“My family will never be a distraction, that's for sure.”

“Las Vegas is about distraction.”

“Literally, from the moment I wake up from the moment I go to sleep, I'm just working without distraction. It's just the way I'm wired.”
