I think even if I did try to write something that had nothing to do with women or race, which are two pretty broad topics, I don't know how I would do that. I don't think there's a way that I could write a buddy cop drama, or something really far from anything I've written, that didn't have pieces of race and gender. Those are parts of the world we live in, and they are things I think about. It all comes into the voice of your writing, and you can't write about someone else's voice. You can only write in your own. (Celeste Ng)
