Sometimes when you are standing still and it’s snowing, you think that you hear music. You can’t tell where it’s coming from either. I wondered if we all really did have a soundtrack, but we just get so used to it that we can’t hear it anymore, the same way that we block out the sound of our own heartbeat.

Lonely children probably wrote the Bible.

I had a ludicrous childhood, but I feel that I was able to profit from a lot of the idiotic and unfortunate things that happened to me by turning them into fiction.

Adolescents are still children in that they can't yet tell the difference between make believe and fiction.

All writers have the idea that they are famous.

The ground was silvery, as if some stars had fallen there.

The stars are always up in the sky...then when it is perfectly black, they feel less vulnerable and out they come.
