New York is where you go to catch a big fish.

There's no point in living in an alternate reality.

I don't want the IRS banging down my door.

In real life, people are constantly saying one thing and doing another, but if you write your characters that way, the story becomes too hard to follow.

If you're still in a bar when the lights go on, you are a loser.

If you don't like or care about your job, what's the big deal? I am so over it.

If you want to do what you want to do, you have to look a certain way.

The academic area of new music or modern music festivals is not something which attracts me at all.

If you begin with the middle-tone and work up from it toward the darks so that you deal last with your highest lights and darkest darks, you avoid false accents.

Age will flatten a man.
