“Personally, I don't deal much in theory. I have to deal with the facts. And on the basis of facts, I don't see much difference in the behavior of men and women.”
“I don't have any theories-- all I have are the facts.”

“I know all about the facts of life, and I don't think much of them.”
“I don't know much about creative writing programs. But they're not telling the truth if they don't teach, one, that writing is hard work, and, two, that you have to give up a great deal of life, your personal life, to be a writer.”
“If you see a good deal remarkable in me I see just as much remarkable in you.”
