“There's no equivalent to Mozart in writing.”
“I think that if Mozart were alive today and decided to become a novelist, he would write humorous fantasy.”
“Writing without revising is the literary equivalent of waltzing gaily out of the house in your underwear.”
“There's no right way of writing. There's only your way.”
“Mozart is thinking of Chairman Mao”
“There's no such thing as perfect writing, just like there's no such thing as perfect despair.”
