Paul Auster: The most challenging project I’ve ever done, I think, is every single thing I’ve ever tried to do. It’s never easy. Some things get written more quickly than others, but I can’t really measure degrees of difficulty. I think probably I struggled most, had the most difficulty completing things, writing something to my friends, especially when I was young, I was starting out. And then there would be many false starts, many abject failures that depressed me to no end. And as the years went on, I became a little more comfortable with the prospect of failure as part of the routine of writing, the whole business of it.
