I've always been intrigued by Stockholm Syndrome. Reminds me of my childhood.

I drink coffee. Without coffee, I probably couldnt write.

People don't expect too much from literature. They just want to know they're not alone with being confused.

I am part of a vast generation of people who perpetually live as if they just graduated from college.

I need to stay in the present and use that new-age mantra: 'I'm okay right now.' But I worry about all the things I'm failing at every moment.

Having a show get canceled is like, 'Oh, you have caviar between your teeth,' you know what I mean? Because you had a show in the first place.

Something has happened where you almost never grow up in America. Maybe it's the greater wealth.

I don't really recognise success. I don't see myself as on an upwardly mobile trajectory. I see myself as on the edge of a cliff about to fall off.

Oh, God, I don't know what's more difficult, life or the English language.

I am always the source of the worst rumors about myself.

I'm on the verge of a total breakdown. Sciatica. Taxes. Cars. Fleas, possibly. It's an absurd existence.

Be sure that head and heart were laidIn wisdom down, content to die.Be sure he faced the Starless SkyUnduped, unmurmuring, unafraid.(“The Passing of Bierce”)

Feelings are invulnerable to rational thought.

It's always been this way, I wanted to tell him. We bear the unbearable. We endure the unendurable. We do what must be done until we ourselves are undone.

When I was 6 years old, I was in a rock band that was horrible called 'Dead End.' The name kind of described us. People liked us; we would go and perform at coffee houses and stuff.

We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.

I always sang. I wanted to be in a band with my sister, and I was, at 11. At 12, I started writing seriously, and that was my pacifier all through high school - that and painting.

The young think they are immortal, and are determined to prove otherwise.

If you tell yourself something often enough you will start to believe it, that is why you must make self love your mantra.

There's no question that the main location of al Qaeda is in tribal areas of Pakistan.

I don't do anything for the money.
