My attitude is that if anybody of any age wants to read a book, let them, but I do think that no child would want to read Boneland.

When you start, the world of publishing seems like a great cathedral citadel of talent, resisting attempts to let you inside. It isn't like that at all. It may be more difficult now, and take longer than when I started to write, but there's a great, empty warehouse out there looking for simple talent.

I loathe crowds. I especially dont like cities. A city involves biomass. And biomass gets to me.

If you are going to write, nothing will stop you, and if you are not going to write, nothing will make you.

It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.

When a monkey nibbles on a weenis, it's funny in any language.

Im not supposed to be within two hundred feet of a school or a Chuck E. Cheese.
