It is you who makes me see what I really am.

I don't have talent. I have tenacity.

'The Great Gatsby' is a book I have read a few times, and it seems to get heavier every time I come to visit.

Here you can be a billionaire, like Mark Zuckerberg rich, but you are going to die and you are here for a while and ultimately all of your stuff is kind of like a rental.

All my big heroes are literary, writers.

Nowadays, the media have to be there to keep you from asking too many questions, from getting together with other people who might want to do the Jeffersonian thing and call out the government.

There's nothing funny about, 'Yeah, I took a First Class plane ticket and I went to some designer beach and made out with a Laotian slave girl.' Who cares?
