I don't tell clients what to do. I don't even really tell them what the future is.

I understand maybe some people are more impressionable than my hard, cynical self, but maybe they need to figure out how to be less of that.

I have a really good life and I really like it.

My belief that the publishing industry is run by prigs and cowards dates back to many years before I even had the idea for the book.

I would never tell anybody to get a divorce.

Most of what I do is for creative people - writers and painters and photographers - trying to work through creative problems.

There's this resistance to actually talking to people who are smarter than you about things and I don't know why that is.
