“As a writer, I play with words all day long. I toy with them, listen for their overtones, crack them open, and try to stuff my thoughts inside.”

“How am I going to explain to my kids one day that I can't buy them a happy meal because the toy will make them fat?”

“I have thought for a long time that the way my clothes hang on me is more important than me inside them.”

“People used to play with toys.Now the toys play with them.”

“few writers like other writers' works. The only time they like them is when they are dead or if they have been for a long time. Writers only like to sniff their own turds. I am one of those. I don't even like to talk to writers, look at them or worse, listen to them. And the worst is to drink with them, they slobber all over themselves, really look piteous, look like they are searching for the wing of the mother.I'd rather think about death than about other writers. Far more pleasant.”

“Word to the wise writer...never underestimate your secondary characters! But watch them...they sneak off with stuff.”
