If you don't like my book, write your own.

So much of life is happenstance. It makes me laugh when I go to a bookstore and see all those titles about controlling your life. You're lucky if you can control your bladder.

Morals are private. Decency is public.

I think of birth as the search for a larger apartment.

If critics want to help me, let them come sit next to me while I'm writing.

For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself.

If you like my novels, I commend your good taste.
