“These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
For you
And all the times I had the chance to.”

“I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.”

“I describe what I do on the day that I do it. The nice thing for me is that I do lots of different things on lots of different days.”

“It's funny, don't you think, how time seems to do a lot of things? It flies, it tells, and worst of all, it runs out.”

“It might seem as the hardest thing to do, but you have to forget the guy who forgot about you.”

“"Teddy, you know what I was thinking? How do you tell what are real things from what aren't real things?"
The bear shuffled its alternatives. "Real things are good."
"I wonder if time is good. I don't think Mummy likes time very much. The other day, lots of days ago, she said that time went by her. Is time real, Teddy?"”

“I had some good opportunities. I was lucky to have had the chance to do things differently. Architecture is about surprise.”

“I had a lot of friends who worked in foreign embassies so I had the chance to exchange music tapes. That's the way I listened to a lot of rock music at that time”

“I don't have a method. All I do is read a lot, think a lot, and rewrite constantly. It's not a scientific thing.”

“I think the greatest compliment that I could ever receive is when people say to me I forgot you were short and that’s what it’s all about.”
