“As a regular person, it’s your duty to stay on a straight and even keel, not to swing from the branches of trees. But as a writer it’s your duty to lie and to view everything in life, however outrageous, as an interesting possibility. You may need to be ruthless or amoral in your writing to be original. Telling a story straight from real life is only being a reporter, not a creator. Make your story big, magical, more meaningful than life is.”
