Writer's block has never been a real problem for me. Sometimes the writing goes better, sometimes worse. I think the trick is to keep slogging away, even when you think you're not doing your best work. You can always go back and fix it later.

If you love words and stories, there's nothing better. Also, the flexibility is great--not to mention the chance to travel!

Read and write, whenever and wherever you can. Writing can be hard work, but if you become enmeshed in stories and the sound of words, it is deeply rewarding work.

I'm just beginning a new book on the young Picasso, a work that will take me to Barcelona and Paris. One of the great joys of this work is to be able to travel to interesting places. This will also be a bit of a return, since I spent much of my early career as a writer covering modern and contemporary art.

I write about the things I love. I think it's hard to spend a few year with someone and not develop an affection for the subject. I lived in Florence for five years and love the city and its people.

This is my third book on the Italian Renaissance, and this one seemed to flow naturally from the other two. Michelangelo knew both Lorenzo de' Medici--his first patron--and Niccolo Machiavelli. All lived in the small city of Florence in its most creative moment.
