I know perfectly well that you can't not want anything and live.

I can't say that fantasy instead of the 3D world is fine or good, but I know in my own life I have certain people I've kind of fixated upon to the point of pure fantasy. Then there's such a dilemma when here they are, and they're getting ever less and less like the way the fantasy has them.

I suppose you retire from trying. If you retire from trying, you think, "Maybe love will just come my way if I don't want it anymore."

There's a lot of water in everything I've ever written. There's always oceans and pools.

When you're waiting for a bus, the thing to do is smoke a cigarette.

I think sometimes to still be angry is appropriate, but you want to be able to live with it.

In order to have a real life of any romance, there has to be a level of fantasy.
