Checkout quotes by Graham Swift on Me

• ‟ Part of the very impulse of writing for me is actually wanting to get away from myself.

  - Graham Swift
  

• ‟ One of the things that probably drew me to writing was that it was something you could get on with by yourself. Publishing means going public. But the actual activity could scarcely be more invisible. And private.

  - Graham Swift
  

• ‟ The idea of stopping is not unmeaningful to me. I think there might be a time when, in theory at least, you'd say, 'Well I've mostly done what I want to do.' But how could you ever prevent a few years down the line some germ of an idea getting at you and you've got to do it again?

  - Graham Swift
  

• ‟ There's no such thing as the contemporary novel. Before I seem the complete reactionary, let me add that I've happily joined in many discussions about 'the contemporary novel' where what that usually, unproblematically means is novels that have appeared recently or may appear soon.

  - Graham Swift
  

• ‟ Novels, in my experience, are slow in coming, and once I've begun them I know I have years rather than months of work ahead of me.

  - Graham Swift
