“I'm doing one of three things: I'm writing. I'm staring out the window. Or I'm writhing on the floor.”

“Remember me? I'm the one who burned your house down
…But I'm out now
And this time I'm coming back to blow your house up
And I ain't gonna leave you with a window to jump out of!”

“Remember me? I'm the one who burned your house down/But I'm out now/And this time I'm coming back to blow your house up/And I ain't gonna leave you with a window to jump out of!/Give me two fat tabs and three shrooms/And you won't see me like fat people in steam rooms/And when I'm going to hell and I'm getting ready to leave/I'ma put air in a bag and charge people to breathe!”

“I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions
And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book.”

“I'm not making any money doing this, I'm purely doing it out of ego.”

“I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is.”

“I'm not a writer with a drinking problem, I'm a drinker with a writing problem.”

“One of the positive aspects from my point of view in terms of lifestyle doing film is that I can say "Well, I'm now going to have three months where I'm just going to hang out and be with the family."”

“The elements I need to write are a place, a desk, a familiar room. I need some of my books there, I need quiet. … I'm picturing as I'm writing. I'm putting together what I need to have this thing alive.”

“I'm not doing anything, and yet I'm also doing the most important thing a man can do: I'm listening to what I needed to hear from myself.”
