I don't behave the way people necessarily want me to, but I tried behaving that other way for a short period of time and it didn't take.

I believe in free will.

I don't think you can write an experience as you're having it without being an idiot.

I like European and South American literature, but mostly I read nonfiction.

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

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

You don't have to go to New York and you don't have to go to LA or London. Go somewhere cheap. Go somewhere with free art museums and then just go to art museums.
