Write drunk; edit sober.

There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.

I'm not unfaithful, darling. I've plenty of faults but I'm very faithful. You'll be sick of me I'll be so faithful.

You don't have to destroy me. Do you?

After writing a story I was always empty and both sad and happy, as though I had made love.

The writer's job is not to judge, but to seek to understand.

My life used to be full of everything. Now if you aren't with me I haven't a thing in the world.
