america people trying
The way America works, and the way L.A. works, is a very small percentage of people get what they want out of life, and a much greater percentage try very very hard and they don't. That's just the way it is.
thinking answers self-loathing
I think of how and why and what happened and the thoughts come easily, but the answers don't.
strong men white
I stand, walk over to him, sit down on his bed, put my arms around him, hug him. He hugs me back strong and I can feel the shame coming through his arms. I am a Criminal and he is a Judge and I am white and he is black, but at this moment none of that matters. He is a man who needs a friends and I can be his friend.
freedom lifetime bondage
Even a second of freedom is worth more than a lifetime of bondage.
sex thinking world
I just think it's a great world to tell stories in, to tell cool stories: money, sex, fame, and scandal. Those are great subject matters to work with.
men broken pieces
The Young Man came to the Old Man seeking counsel. I broke something, Old Man. How badly is it broken? It's in a million little pieces. I'm afraid I can't help you. Why? There's nothing you can do. Why? It can't be fixed. Why? It's broken beyond repair. It's in a million little pieces.
hurt fighting past
Everything I know and I am and I have seen felt done past present past now then before now seen felt done hurt felt focus into a something beyond words beyond beyond beyond and it speaks now and it says. Stay. Fight. Live. Take it.
outlaw certain wanted
I always wanted to be the outlaw. And that's to a certain extent how I've lived.
people care imagine
I don't care what people come at me with. People have come at me with everything you could imagine. I could care less about that.
return damage irreparable
There are places from which you cannot return. There is damage that can be irreparable.
long unseen moments
I listen to the tick of an unseen clock marking moments of time long passed...
writing people negative
I don't want to walk in the middle. I want people to read what I write and feel strongly about it. If, at some point, whatever I am doing is failing to elicit a response, whether it's very positive or very negative, then I am going to stop doing it.
art book mean
What someone calls my books is irrelevant to me. I consider them works of art and rules and categories and labels mean nothing.
beautiful optimistic alive
I am essentially optimistic. Being alive is incredible. Life is extraordinary and beautiful. It can be hard and sad and terrifying, but it's all we've got.
