Literature Is The History Of The Soul.

I Don't Really Care About Plot; I Want To Have A Page-turner In A Different Kind Of Way.

I Wake My Wife Up At 3 A.m. And Say, "listen To This!"

I Lost My Second Marriage Because Of Drinking, And I Loved The Woman Very Much. But I Thought I Needed Booze To Write. I'm Glad I Was Disabused.

The First Two Drinks Were Always Wonderfully Liberating. You Think Better. You're Braver, And You'll Say Anything. If You Could Just Hang In There With Two Or Three, It'd Be Beautiful. The Trouble Was I Couldn't.

I'll Tell You Why I Like Writing: It's Just Jumping Into A Pool. I Get Myself Into A Kind Of Trance. I Engage The World, But It's Also Wonderful To Just Escape. I Try To Find The Purities Out Of The Confusion. It's Pretty Old-fashioned, But It's Fun.
