Patrick deWitt : (5)

" By the time I left the bar, I was 30. I was a dishwasher. They call it a bar-back, but essentially, I washed dishes for a living. I had no high-school diploma, I had no agent, and my literary successes were non-existent… but it was the only thing I ever wanted to do, so I did feel trapped. " - Patrick deWitt

" All of my close friends are emotional train wrecks. This is what makes our lives interesting – constantly doubting ourselves, worrying, wondering if we’ve made a mistake. Could we have done better? Are we good people? Are we bad people? " - Patrick deWitt

" I come by writing dialogue fairly naturally, I’ve got a chatty family; I’m a bit of a voyeur, and if I’m ever in a public place, I automatically find myself listening. " - Patrick deWitt

" I’ve always felt so fortunate to have writing to turn to every day. I’m obsessed with it. " - Patrick deWitt

" I haven’t read hardly any Westerns, to tell you the truth. " - Patrick deWitt
