More quotes by Will Self

I have a healthy appetite for solitude. If you don't, you have no business being a writer.

I think of writing as a sculptural medium. You are not building things. You are removing things, chipping away at language to reveal a living form.

So I was smacked up on the Prime Minister's jet – big deal.
