“A writer's life is never boring when you have imaginary friends to play with!”

“A true friend never asks you to feed their imaginary fish. Or fertilize their imaginary crops.”

“When I was a kid, I had two friends, and they were imaginary and they would only play with each other.”

“When the silence bores you, let the music play; when the music bores you, let the silence play!”

“One of the advantages of reading books is that you get to play with someone else's imaginary friends, at all hours of the night.”

“A writer is a dangerous friend. Everything you say, all of your life and experience, is fodder for our writing. We mean you no harm, but what you know and what you’ve done is unavoidably fascinating to us. Being friends with a writer is a bit like trying to keep a bear as a pet. They’re wonderful, friendly creatures, but they play rough and they don’t know their own strength or remember that they have claws. Choose the stories you tell to your writer friends carefully.”
