You only live once, buy Picassos whenever possible.

I think as an artist or a writer it's OK to want to control your own work.

I'm writing books. They're still a mix of fact and fiction and will continue to be. I think it's an interesting place to work.

Its not just a smile of momentary happiness. When it disappears from my face, it will stay with me.

That's what ever great writer, I believe, has done over the course of time - is they've figured out new ways of telling the same stories.

I have lived alone, I have fought alone, I have dealt with the pain alone. I will die alone. I think when I'm going to leave. I don’t want to be seen and I don’t want to be followed , I want to disappear quickly and quietly and without any drama , I want as much time in the darkness as I can possibly have . The darkness provides cover, the darkness provides places to hide and the darkness provides comfort.

Stay. Fight. Live. Take it. Cry. Cry. Cry.
