Not everybody thought they could be a dentist or an automobile mechanic but everybody knew they could be a writer.

I have two rules. One is, never trust a man who smokes a pipe. The other is, never trust a man with shiny shoes.

Basically, that's why I wrote: to save my ass, to save my ass from the madhouse, from the streets, from myself.

The writing's easy, it's the living that is sometimes difficult.

Getting drunk was good. I decided that I would always like getting drunk. It took away the obvious and maybe if you could get away from the obvious often enough, you wouldn't become so obvious yourself.

Find what you love and let it kill you.
