i was reading an interview of Ernest Hemingway. In this book: https://www.amazon.com/Writers-at-Work-2-Various/dp/0670001759/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473901826&sr=8-2&keywords=writers+at+work+vol+2

---
This is the relevant part:

Hemingway: Though there is one part of writing that is solid and you do it no harm by talking about it, the other is fragile, and if you talk about it, the structure cracks and you have nothing.

.....

Interviewer: Is emotional stability necessary to write well? You told me once that you could only write well when you were in love. Could you expound on that a bit more?

Hemingway: What a question. But full marks for trying. You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or rather you can if you are ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love. If it is all the same to you i would rather not expound on that.

[The interviewer then asks him a completely unrelated question and the interview veers off in a different direction.]

---
Any thoughts on what Hemingway said, and what he left unsaid?

Very crotchety!

Interviewer: Would you admit to there being symbolism in your novels?
Hemingway: I suppose there are symbols since critics keep finding them. If you do not mind I dislike talking about them and being questioned about them. It is hard enough to write books and stories without being asked to explain them as well. Also it deprives the explainers of work.
