I like to read biographies of authors that I love, like Richard Yates. I also like to see what non-fiction authors are out there. My bible is Something Happened. It's one of the greatest books I've ever read. But if I don't read a Dostoevsky soon I'm going to kill myself.

I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say.

When you're in love it's the most glorious two and a half days of your life.

I tried phone sex - it gave me an ear infection.

For 45 years I've worked without an audience.

During sex I fantasize that I'm someone else.

My parents were my worst audience.
