“Comedy and terror and autobiography and comics and literature-they're all the same thing. To me.”
“Everything that begins as comedy ends as a comic monologue, but we aren't laughing anymore.”
“Nothing is more comical than seriousness understood as a virtue that has to precede all important literature”
“...in autobiography, as in all literature, what actually happened is less important than what the author can manage to persuade his audience to believe”
“Life is a drama full of tragedy and comedy. You should learn to enjoy the comic episodes a little more.”
“I don't think anyone should write their autobiography until after they're dead”
