Sometimes I ask myself if writing novels is even respectable.
Lorrie Moore
I usually grow sick of my short-story characters and think, 'I never want to see you again.'
Lorrie Moore
I'm a little harsh. When people say, 'I have writers block. What do you suggest?' I say, 'If you can't write, don't write. No one needs your writing. Don't torture yourself.'
Lorrie Moore
To me, writing is much freer than dancing. With writing, you could do it whenever you wanted. You didn't have to do little exercises and stay in shape. You could have great moments of inspiration that advanced the story. In dance, unless you're going to choreograph things yourself, you're at the service of someone else.

Lorrie Moore

Lorrie Moore

Lorrie Moore

Lorrie Moore

Lorrie Moore

Lorrie Moore
Writing has to be an obsession - it's only for those who say, 'I'm not going to do anything else.'
Lorrie Moore
Literature, of course, is not a contest.
