“No book is ever perfectNo piece of art is ever perfectNo meal I cook is ever perfect But at some point we have to eat...”
“I don't believe you can ever really cook unless you love eating.”
“Some pieces can’t ever be restored.”
“Never, ever point out that a woman is eating too much.”
“I eat like a tortoise eats, if you've ever seen a tortoise eating. Like some prehistoric swamp thing.”
“You could say my book is the best book ever (or worst book ever), and it wouldn’t make it any better (or worse) than it is. All art exists outside and beyond criticism.”
