As we grow older I always think, why didn't I do more when I was young, why didn't I risk more?

Just let yourself be broken and humiliated. Just your whole life, keep telling people, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

No matter how bad things get, you can still walk away.

My goal is more to be remembered. They'll remember this thing and like it in the future. The trick is to stay remembered long enough for that to happen.

I have a secret goal with my editor - he has asthma and uses his inhaler, and after I send him a new manuscript, I'll have his assistant phone me and tell me how many times he had to get his inhaler out while reading a draft. It's my secret laugh meter.

The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage.

So here I am. This is as good as it gets. Take it or leave it.
