I'd love to be able to write an in-depth piece of what causes men like [Richard] Nixon and [H.R.]Haldeman and [John] Ehrlichman and all the rest of them not only to run, but what causes us to vote for them.

You can be a hunchback and a dwarf and what-all. If you write beautifully, you can write beautifully.

Hollywood's a great place to live... if you're a grapefruit.

The ultimate obscenity is not caring, not doing something about what you feel, not feeling! Just drawing back and drawing in becoming narcissistic.

Image
I'm sufficiently independent to know that I can live well and comfortably all the rest of my life whether I'm rejected or not.

Image
I don't have close relationships with agents. They're friends, but they're not confidants.
