"People say, 'What is the most important thing for a writer?' I say, 'Don't be boring.'"

"You can't fight for your life and sanity and then leave the battlefield and go home and live happily ever after."

"The best advice I ever got was, 'Don't be afraid to be yourself.'"

"The excrement hit the air-conditioning."

"I still believe that it is a holy thing to be a writer."
