“It is not I who become addicted, it is my body.”

“What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.”

“CEOS who are neurotic impostors are also likely to become addicted to consulting companies.”

“Be mindful of addictions. Any addiction, over time becomes your downfall.”

“Who becomes you? No one. No one should become me. When I die, I don't want my body or soul inhabited. I wouldn't wish me on anyone.”

“I'm a reading addict. I can't live without it, like someone who is addicted to drugs.”

“I'm addicted to perfection. Problem with my life is I was always also addicted to chaos. Perfect chaos.”

“Then there are the addicts, the hunger addicts, the rage addicts, the poverty addicts, and power addicts, and the pure addicts who are addicted not to substances but to the oblivion and the tenderness the substances engender. An addict, if you don't mind me saying so, is like a saint. What is a saint but someone who has cut himself off, voluntarily, from the world's traffic and currency.”

“Fiction Is My Addiction”

“My face becomes a Picasso sketch, my body slicing into pieces.”
