To expect reason is where the fallacy lies.

And there comes a time in your life when you realize that if you don't take the opportunity to be happy, you may never get another chance again.

I’ve always known that there’s more going on inside me than finds its way into the world, but this is probably true of everyone. Who doesn’t regret that he isn’t more fully understood?

The other possibility was that there was no right thing to say, that the choice wasn't between right and wrong but between wrong, more wrong, and as wrong as you can get.

People often ask me how I make things funny. I don't make things funny.

If my career continues along its current arc, people will probably look at me and see a writer who is obsessed with the relationship between rich and poor and with how the rich somehow or other always manage to betray the poor, even when they don't mean to.

Structure is one of the things that I always hope will reveal itself to me.
