I like the idea of a writer being haunted by his own creation, especially if the writer resents the way the character defines him.

My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone.

Rock 'n' roll. Deal with it.

All of my books come from pain.

Every book for me is an exorcism in some way or another, working through my feelings at the time.

History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.

I totally relate to Tom Cruise. He's not crazy, it's just the litany of the mid-life crisis.
