Time is never wasted coming to an old man bar.

The best and easiest lesson for me was to learn that writing is mostly hard work.

Time is never wasted coming to an old man bar.

Drugs and drinking affect every family I know, country and city, middle-class and poor.

I think back when I was kind of a crappy writer, I really did know my time was better spent working and having adventures and seeing the world.

I'm not much interested in my own self when I write. I'm interested in what I observe out there, what's going on around me.

I was unhappy and I couldn't figure out what was the matter. And he told me to go take a writing course. And I didn't even know that one could learn to write in writing courses.
