“‎"A writer has to talk about the things that go untalked about”

“Sometimes, courage is really just cowardice. Sometimes the bravest thing is to let go.”

“To be an honest writer, you have to be away from home, and totally alone in life.”

“Freedom is the only thing we must demand in life, for all other good things stem from it”

“It kills me how these days everyone has clinical justification for their strangeness.”

“A man's life is all he has. When you're old, it's all you'll ever have.”

“Whatever they may say, your story is truly your own. You have a responsibility to it, the way a father has to a child”
