Writers on Writing

Did I ever tell you that I love Charlie Rose? I imagine that anyone who has watched him for a significant length of time must feel the same way.

On his website, a 13 minute video was just released called Writers on Writing that features these gems:

Martin Amis on writing being a war against cliché.
Zadie Smith on a book being a person's best self.
Malcolm Gladwell on training yourself to see that everything is interesting.
Joan Didion on the difficulty of writing novels.
Jonathan Franzen on writing in order to cross the great lonely gaps.
Fran Lebowitz on fear of writing stemming from being "reverent about the book".
