I'm not funny. People assume that because my books are funny, I'll be funny in real life. It's the inevitable disappointment of meeting me.

In the morning, when the nothing vase casts a something shadow, like the memory of someone you've lost, what can you say about that?

I think and think and think, I‘ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.

I hope you never think about anything as much as I think about you.

You can see the most beautiful things from the observation deck of the Empire State Building. I read somewhere that people on the street are supposed to look like ants, but that's not true. They look like little people. And the cars look like little cars. And even the buildings look little. It's like New York is a miniature replica of New York, which is nice, because you can see what it's really like, instead of how it feels when you're in the middle of it.
