Lighting new cigarettes, pouring more drinks. It has been a beautiful fight. Still is.

If you can't write the next line, well, you're dead. The past doesn't matter.

I don't carry notebooks and I don't consciously store ideas. I try not to think that I am a writer and I am pretty good at doing that. I don't like writers, but then I don't like insurance salesmen either.

I wasn't a misanthrope and I wasn't a misogynist but I liked being alone. It felt good to sit alone in a small space and smoke and drink. I had always been good company for myself.

If you are going to try, go all the way or don't even start. If you follow it you will be alive with the gods. It is the only good fight there is.

it's better to be happy...if you can..!!
