I have a deadline. I'm glad. I think that will help me get it done.
Michael Chabon
Never say love is like anything... It isn't.
Michael Chabon
A story begins with this nebulous feeling that’s hard to get a hold of and you’re testing your feelings and assumptions, testing what you believe. They end up turning into keepsakes and mementos –like amber in which a memory gets trapped.
Michael Chabon
Only love could pick a nested pair of steel Bramah locks.
Michael Chabon
I don't do a lot of foisting, because when it comes to books I don't really like to be foisted upon.
Michael Chabon
I saw a lot of lousy movies and watched a ton of crappy television and read a bunch of utterly forgettable books and comics and listened to hours of junk music as a kid. And I'm still drawing profitably in my own art on some of the tawdry treasure I stored up in those years.
Michael Chabon
There was something unmistakably exultant about the mess that Rosa had made. Her bedroom-studio was at once the canvas, journal, museum, and midden of her life. She did not “decorate” it she infused it.
Michael Chabon
A delicate, inexorable lattice of inferences began to assemble themselves, like a crystal, in the old man's mind, shivering, catching the light in glints and surmises.
Michael Chabon
Childhood is a branch of cartography.
Michael Chabon
Drunk, Jane spoke as though she were Nancy Drew. I was a fool for a girl with a dainty lexicon.
Michael Chabon
It was nice standing out in the darkness, in the damp grass, with spring coming on and a feeling in my heart of imminent disaster.
Michael Chabon
We have the idea that our hearts, once broken, scar over with an indestructible tissue that prevents their ever breaking again in quite the same place.
Michael Chabon
He was a fugitive, lurking soul, James Leer. He didn't belong anywhere, but things went much better for him in places where nobody belonged.
Michael Chabon
So it was scary, but that's how it goes. To my great delight, I discovered that it did all belong.
Michael Chabon
What's going to be hard for me is to try to divorce myself as much as possible from what I wrote. I'll have to approach it simply as raw material and try to craft a film script out of it.
Michael Chabon
I wanted to give readers the feeling of knowing the characters, a mental image.
Michael Chabon
I said, “I need to hear something that’s going to save my life.” Re: Selecting songs from a jukebox.
Michael Chabon
My heart was simultaneously broken and filled with lust, I was exhausted, and I loved every minute of it. It was strange and elating to find myself for once the weaker.
Michael Chabon
To me, Clark Kent in a phone booth and Houdini in a packing crate, they were one and the same thing, he would learnedly expound at WonderCon or Angoulême or to the editor of The Comics Journal . You weren't the same person when you came out as when you went in.
Michael Chabon
If children are not permitted-not taught-to be adventurers and explorers as children, what will become of the world...?
