if you live in New York and you have a guest room, you have guests. So I think it's best not to have a guest room.

Tourism as a number-one industry is a terrible, terrible idea for any city, especially New York. If you were going to turn a city, which is a place where people live, into a tourist attraction, you're going to have to make it a place that people who don't live here, like. So I object to living in a place for people who don't live here.

If there had been a job of being a reader, I would have taken that, because I love to read and I don't love to write. That would be blissful.

A community is a butcher and a doctor, a minister, a town troublemaker. A community is not a bunch of people united by some grievance. That's just self-righteousness - incredibly dangerous and antidemocratic.

Until I was about 7, I thought books were just there, like trees. When I learned that people actually wrote them, I wanted to, too, because all children aspire to inhuman feats like flying. Most people grow up to realize they can't fly. Writers are people who don't grow up to realize they can't be God.

I walk a lot in New York, not for the exercise but to get from place to place, and because it's the way of having the least contact with human beings.

I hate all jobs. I've never had a job I liked.
