Radio news is bearable. This is due to the fact that while the news is being broadcast, the disk jockey is not allowed to talk.

When I'm supposed to be writing I clean my apartment, take my clothes to the laundry, get organized, make lists, do the dishes. I would never do a dish unless I had to write.

What people don't know is: Clothes don't really fit you unless they're made for you. Especially when you wear men's clothes, like I do. American women think that clothes fit them if they can fit into them. But that's not at all what fit means.

I have always preferred the company of older people. No one in the history of the world has had less interest in the young than I do. I am not interested in what young people are thinking. They're thinking less than old people, of course. I mean, what could they be thinking? And what are they doing? They're doing the same stupid things you did.

I wish that real estate were cheaper and clothes were more expensive.

I hate writing. I will do anything to avoid it. The only way I could write less was if I was dead.

White grapes are very attractive but when it comes to dessert people generally like cake with icing.
