There's really nothing wrong with sentimentality... Nothing I wrote is sentimental.

The public is totally illiterate in America. It can't read at all. It's absolutely insensitive to words.

Almost everything official in America is a huge fraud.

I don't have any home. Everyone I grew up with, my family, are all dead. So I feel kind of like a ghost. I'm more interested in the past.

I am against all machines. It's no wonder that so many Americans go on dope when they have no other cultural stimulus than a television.

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

None of my books are best-sellers. In fact, the only thing that's kept me alive is the books that are in paperback. People find them, they like them, and they pass them on.
