“Fiction allows you to go deeper into the truth. You can put anything down and you can take chances.”

“Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it's the only way you can do anything good.”

“I'm a novelist. Anything you say can be taken down and used against you in a work of fiction.”

“you can tell the deepest truths with the lies of fiction”

“That's when I realized that as long as you don't broadcast your beefs, you can get away cold with murder. It's even better if you don't allow the beef to take place. If someone disrespects you, you can know in your heard that you're going to get him, but you don't have to show him there's a beef. You can just look at it like, Okay, this nigga must not know. And then you fall back and you put it down.”

“If you want to write fiction, the best thing you can do is take two aspirins, lie down in a dark room, and wait for the feeling to pass.”
