I've found that all weak people share a basic obsession - they fixate on the idea of satisfaction. Anywhere you go men and women are like crows drawn by shiny objects. For some folks, the shiny objects are other people, and you'd be better off developing a drug habit.

As human beings, we are nothing but the stories we live and die by — so you’d better be careful what stories you tell yourself.

The ideas within this philosophy are certainly not exclusive to any writer.

I was raised by television. It was my first cultural window. It was a constant companion.

I knew the past wasn't real. It was only an idea, and the thing I'd wanted to touch, to brush against, the feeling I couldn't name - it just didn't exist. It was only an idea, too.

It’s better to not have a reputation than a bad one.

Killing characters on television has become an easy short cut to cathartic emotion.
