When I gave up dope and alcohol, my immediate feeling was 'I've saved my life, but there'll be a price because I'll have nothing that buzzes me any more'. But I enjoyed my kids. My wife loved me and I loved her. And eventually the writing came back and I discovered that the writing was enough. Stupid thing is that probably it always had been.

What's been tried once had been tried once before... and before... and before...

The worst thing you can try to do is to steer the story once it gets going. You just kind of follow along and see where it goes. That's the fun.

Why' is a crooked letter and can't be made straight.

Superstition, like true love, needs time to grow and reflect upon itself.

Absence may or may not make the heart grow fonder, but it certainly freshens the eye.

Once again there was the desert, and that only.
