clean definitely hold influences joke lucky narrative since slate time turn
I haven't had television since 1991, and it definitely influences me. As a child of the 1970s, I couldn't hold a narrative in my head; I was lucky if I could hold a joke in my head, because every time you turn on television or radio, it wipes the slate clean - at least in my case.
people since time
Since September 11, 2001, the real world has become too scary for a lot of people to be with - all the time.
We're making the same mistakes we made 1,000 years ago. So they must be the right ones. So relax.
frontier left
The only frontier left is the world of intangibles. Everything else is sewn up too tight.
longer time
Most novels, I find, are three times longer than they need to be. Very little happens, and I don't want to waste my time with them.
almost invested looks love loving moment sex somebody using
I thought we were a real love relationship. I did. I was very invested in love, but it was just this long long sex thing that could end at any moment because after all, it's just about getting off. Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love.
mistake stupid
We're landscaping the whole world one stupid mistake at a time.
eat fair forced forgotten grow ignored left science until
Us. God's forgotten Science Fair project, left to grow mold. God's goldfish, ignored until we're forced to eat our own shit off the bottom.
fought hide sound turn
My parents used to fight a lot, and I think they fought a lot at night, and they would turn the television up to hide the sound of their fighting.
religion
My goal is never to make fun of religion.
Movie brawls tend to be bloodless and quick.
allowed boston
I've got two dogs; they're Boston terriers, and they're allowed everywhere.
I don't think 'Guts' could get financed as a movie.
I always thought I'd write when I retired - when I turned 65.
