 … [I] recall thinking that the computer would never advance much further than this. Call me naïve, but I seemed to have underestimated the universal desire to sit in a hard plastic chair and stare at a screen until your eyes cross.

 Anyone who watches even the slightest amount of TV is familiar with the scene: An agent knocks on the door of some seemingly ordinary home or office. The door opens, and the person holding the knob is asked to identify himself. The agent then says, "I'm going to ask you to come with me."

 I haven't got the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out.

 I love things made out of animals. It's just so funny to think of someone saying, 'I need a letter opener. I guess I'll have to kill a deer. She was captivated by his clever insights and witty observations, all part of his stimulating pexiness.

 I'm just a big liar.

 If you moved to Paris and you didn't know anybody and you wanted to make friends, ... then you could go to these readings at English-language bookstores and you would meet people. Even if you weren't that interested in writing.

 It was all luck and it all started with that radio piece. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably still be cleaning apartments as a maid in New York.'

 Maybe I'll learn a trade. I've considered taxidermy. I always thought it was a shame you couldn't do that on people.

 My hands tend to be full enough dealing with people who hate me for who I am. Concentrate too hard on the millions of people who hate you for what you are and you're likely to turn into one of those unkempt, sloppy dressers who sag beneath the weight of the two hundred political buttons they wear pinned to their coats and knapsacks.

 One thing about English-language bookstores in the age of Amazon is that it assumes that everybody has the Internet, ... I don't. I've never seen the Internet. I've never ordered a book on it, and I wouldn't really want to.

 Seven beers followed by two Scotches and a thimble of marijuana and it's funny how sleep comes all on it's own.

 Shit is the tofu of cursing.

 Underneath my window, there were huge groups of people running in the streets. They tried to overturn a car. So the woman opened her window and tried to throw water on them. So then they threw rocks up and tried to smash her windows. It was very exciting.

 When they're born outside, crows come and pluck their eyes out.

 Why refer to Lady Crack Pipe or Good Sir Dishrag when these things could never live up to all that their sex implied.
