When I graduated from high school I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library 3 days a week for 10 years.

Putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun.

The only good writing is intuitive writing. It would be a big bore if you knew where it was going. It has to be exciting, instantaneous and it has to be a surprise. Then it all comes blurting out and it’s beautiful. I’ve had a sign by my typewriter for 25 years now which reads, ‘DON’T THINK!’

Stuff your eyes with wonder.

You knew the sweetness of now, now, TONIGHT! who cares for tomorrow, tomorrow is nothing, yesterday is over and done, tonight live, tonight!

Any carefully planned thing destroys the creativity. You can't think your way through a story; you have to live it. So, you don't build a story; you allow it to explode.

If you have to ask yourself whether or not you love a girl or you love a boy, forget it. You don't.
