Interviewer: What is your greatest regret? Gorey: That I don't have one

I don't know what it is I'm doing. But it's not that. Despite all evidence to the contrary.

To take my work seriously would be the height of folly.

There are so many things we've been brought up to believe that it takes you an awfully long time to realize that they aren't you.

I've never had any intentions about anything. That's why I am where I am today, which is neither here nor there, in a literal sense.

A small and sinister snow seems to be coming down relentlessly at present. The radio says it is eventually going to be sleet and rain, but I don't think so; I think it is just going to go on and on, coming down, until the whole world...etc. It has that look.

The helpful thought for which you look Is written somewhere in a book.
