Knowing that something is wrong and doing it anyway happens very often in life, and I doubt I will ever know why.

You know I want to be a director, but you could never truly see the movies in my head and that, Ed, is why we broke up.

I wrote Rick before I was published, and I had no vision of it, really. It was just a story that occurred to me, and that put its little claws in my brain, and I wrote it, and I showed it to a couple people, and they all said, "This is ghastly."

...there's not enough ink and paper to say all I wanted.

It is not always the job of people shouting outside impressive buildings to solve problems. It is often the job of the people inside, who have paper, pens, desks, and an impressive view.

This is an absurd moral, for you and I both know that sometimes not only is it good to lie, it is necessary to lie.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so.
