Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Personally, I rather think that if you're not creative you've got a problem on your hands. If you are creative you've got a double problem.
Truman Capote
It's redundant to die in Los Angeles.
Truman Capote
It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.
Truman Capote
All artists are two-headed calves.
