The past was so past it hurt.

The Ice Storm, because of the movie, has had, or is to have, a vigorous life in other cultures.

I always feel I have made unfilmable books. I even felt that way about a book of mine that was later made into a movie. But my wife, who has made two films, thinks this one would make a very original film. I'm all for original films.

I'm not the guy to ask about the most up to date stuff.

I published a bunch of my older books in e-book format with Open Road, which is great and has tons of hard to find older books available there.

If I'm going to feel estranged and alienated and away from home I don't want anyone interrupting it to debate which berries to have in their pancakes.

There’s something really rich and powerful in not talking about what you need to talk about sometimes.
