Treasure this day and Treasure yourself, truly, neither will ever happen again.

Remember, with writing, what you’re looking for is just one person to come up and tell you, 'I love you for what you do.'

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

It was a great place to write a novel about book burning, in the library basement.

I don't think about what I do. I do it. That's Buddhism. I jump off the cliff and build my wings on the way down.

It was only the other night everything was fine and the next thing I know Im drowning. How many times can a man go down and still be alive? I can't breathe

Kids love me because I write stories that tell them about their capacity for evil. I'm one of the few writers who lets you cleanse yourself that way.
