Writers have to be guilty. We've got to feel guilty about everything and this guilt provides a dynamo. And this dynamo charges the creative act so that every time you sit down and write a book you're shedding your guilt about people, about the world or whatever it is. Once you get rid of this guilt and become a happy person you're no longer an artist.
