I am a person before I am anything else. I never say I am a writer. I never say I am an artist...I am a person who does those things.

Vice is nice, but a little virtue won't hurt you.

More is happening out there than we are aware of. It is possibly due to some unknown direful circumstance.

My mission in life is to make everybody as uneasy as possible. I think we should all be as uneasy as possible, because that's what the world is like.

If I do not seem to be mentioning anything I’ve read lately, it is because I am in one of those periods of undifferentiated flux or something in which I am reading about fifty, at a minimum, books at once, so of course I seldom finish one. Eventually this phase will pass, and I’ll discover I have about ten pages to go in all of them, and will sit down and systematically finish them, one after another.

All the things you can talk about in anyone's work are the things that are least important.
