"Nothing except my grandmother is still dead and my aunt moved to Sacramento and my sister just got out of a mental hospital."

“How can I write a book? you might say. I've got nothing to say. Don't let that stop you. Very few writers have anything to say. The trick is to see how long you can conceal that from the reader. The most successful writers are ones who've been able to get away with it for the greatest number of pages and years.”
