“I don't know what I'd do if for some reason I was no longer able to write. Commit murder, perhaps. At the very least, torture and mayhem.”

“I know if I weren't writing about the things I'd like to do I'd be out doing them. Including killing a whole bunch of folks”

“Some folks pray on it. Me? I write about it.”

“It feels good to know that if I died tomorrow I would have absolutely no regrets about things I wanted to do in life but did not try.”

“No, I'm not in a bad mood. Why do you ask? You think I need to be in a bad mood to let you know I think you're an idiot?”

“I don't think bad people realize they're bad people. I bet they think they're good people who occasionally do bad. Which begs the question . . . how much bad can a good person do before being considered bad?”

“Stop spending so much time trying to prove what you already know to people who don't really matter. It just makes you look insecure and lacking self-confidence.”
