You're born, you die. Everything in between is subject to interpretation.

I actually believe in denial.

I am not a new journalist, whatever that is. I just sit here at the typewriter and bang away at the old forms.

Journalists are interesting. They just aren't as interesting as the things they cover.

You can't retrieve you life (unless you're on Wikipedia, in which case you can retrieve an inaccurate version of it).

So many of the conscious and unconscious ways men and women treat each other have to do with romantic and sexual fantasies that are deeply ingrained, not just in society but in literature. The women's movement may manage to clean up the mess in society, but I don't know whether it can ever clean up the mess in our minds.
