I had decided to be a magician well before I decided to be a writer. I was the little boy who would get up on-stage and do magic wearing a fake mustache, which would fall off during the performance. I'm still trying to perform those tricks. Now I do it with writing.

Everything is generated through your own will power. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. This is a democracy. You go where you want to go and do what you want to do.

Fame and money are gifts given to us only after we have gifted the world with our best, our lonely, our individual truths.

What are the best things and the worst things in your life, and when are you going to get around to whispering or shouting them?

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will.
