The sociopaths - that's the real problem. The whole street demeanor is about pretending to be a sociopath as well so that the real ones can't find you.

I've been writing forever, 20 years.

It is a great moment in every freak's life when he or she finds out that at least they are not the only one.

I'm really suspicious of anybody who comes in and says, this is your identity now, or this is your belief system, and now that you have this, everything's going to be great.

Everybody just gets on my nerves after like, 10 minutes, you know.

My strong suit is that I've been willing to risk on the page to get somewhere interesting.

My weak suit is whatever each reader hates about each book.
