“Many years from now when your children ask what New York City was like just after 9/11, this will be the book you give them in response. It's an exquisite novel full of heart, soul, passion and intelligence, and it's the one this great New York author was born to write.”
“War lives on despotism and is not waged with God's love.”
“Since I was a kid, I've been telling everyone about the rain forest and how it's being destroyed.”
“To me the purpose of art is to produce something alive...but with a separate, and of course one hopes, with an everlasting life of its own.”
“The thing about California is that it's kind of a dream, and I started to feel like I was living in a dream. I still feel like that. Because of that I think I've been able to realize a lot of things that were just ideas. When I was living in New York City, it's such a rat race, it's so competitive and everything is so concrete and in your face all the time. If you're like, "I'm gonna be a writer!" Everybody's like, "Yeah, you and all the other ***** on the subway." There isn't a lot of space for the detached, free-floating movement of the imagination.”
“Clients are becoming more and more savvy. They know what's happening in the brands; they know the new products that are coming out.”
“Hard work can't be ignored forever.”
“Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.”
