Yo! You’re my dope dealer not my thesis adviser. If I wanted your opinion about my dissertation, I’d have asked for it, Motherfucker!

“Et Tu, Babe” was born out of my absolute certainty that a writer’s life was solitary and insular, and I was happy with that. I love reading and writing, it’s my whole life.

Sometimes I think my purpose is as a saboteur when I'm working with other people, derailing what they're trying to do or taking things to a ludicrous extremity.

One of the things that struck me as unique about Hollywood is that I never had bad meetings. There were all enthusiastic, but meaninglessly enthusiastic.

I think to simply make fun of something isn't particularly interesting. I try to not just do a parody of something or belittle something or disparage something.

I was an infinitely hot and dense dot.

The interesting thing about something in the back of your mind is that it can travel pretty far back in your mind.

I think of memory as a game, that is as something one engages in with a very profound kind of "playfulness."

My relationship with my readers is somewhat theatrical. One of the main things I try to do in my work is delight my readers.

Run wild and free like a waterfall

Power will always attract the greedy and the weak.

Writing is simply another means for truth to escape, besides crawling out the hole it’s eaten in the author’s belly.

I don't like dreams or reality. I like when dreams become reality because that is my life.

Pelé is one of the few who contradicted my theory: instead of fifteen minutes of fame, he will have fifteen centuries.

I won contest after contest until finally I realized, "Ok, I am the best in the world, but now what?" So I opened my own company, but there was still that feeling of, "What else do I need to do?"

If there is one thing all Fascists and National Socialists agreed on, it was their hostility to capitalism.

I sometimes feel I'm a sort of cult writer, rather than a mainstream writer, in that those who like my stuff like it a lot, but the appeal is not that broad.

My laptop has freed me to travel.
