In a competitive society, the thing people fear the most is love.

The New York Times is the worst newspaper in the world and it's extremely vicious to artists.

Feeling is taboo, especially in New York. I read in some little magazine the other day that The New Yorker and The New York Times were sclerotic, meaning, "completely turned to rock." The critics here are that way.

If you're a writer, you have to be an egomaniac. You have to just believe in yourself, which is hard work.

I've never been in fashion. Not at all.

No one looks at a television, and no one hears it. It's a poison.

The worse the author, the more he is known.
