Bad news should be followed with soup. Then a nap.

I tend to really enjoy being swept up in fiction. I love a good story and I admire fiction authors.

I don't worry about anything in the Internet age. I have been online since I was aware of it: 1985 in San Francisco. It has changed everything in my life. I would not want to even be alive in an era that did not have it because it is essential to our evolution as a species.

When people meet me, many times they're very surprised because they expect someone who is kind of wacky with seven piercings and very hip and cool and New York City, and I'm not.

The line between normal and crazy seemed impossibly thin. A person would have to be an expert tightrope walker in order not to fall.

You need to grab your dream out of the sky like it's a kite and pinch the string through your fingers until you reach the spool.

The problem with not having anybody to tell you what to do, I understood, is that there was nobody to tell you what not to do.
