"All that you've loved is all you own"

--

Tom Waits

“I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.”
“Tony Black is the Tom Waits of Crime Fiction, yes, that good.”
“Honestly, I think the key () has been, treat every assignment as if itâ€™s your first one, you know? I think there is a misconception, especially that students have and I really make a point when I speak at schools to talk about the fact that you never really arrive. You are always working towards something but you never stop. I think there is this crazy idea that you get somewhere and then everything is cool.”
“IÂ´m a real believer that just doing a little something is a lot better than doing a lot of nothing.”
“Did you ever drink so much of a certain type of alcohol that you get so sick that you can never drink the same kind again ? I've decided that's how I'm going to quit drinking. One-at-a-time.”
“The place that I worked I used to joke about it. There was a, every morning at 10:30 I'd come into work and I'd go into this cubicle that had a little upright piano and fake white cork bricks on the wall, and a little slate that came out of the wall that you could actually write on. And a door that locked from the outside. Every day from 10 to 6, we'd go in there and pretend that we were 13 year old girls and write these songs. That was the gig.”
“One of the reasons we're here is to be a part of this process of exchange.”
“Chasing after a guy who's not interested in you will rip the hell out of your self-respect. Better to face facts now because the longer you put it off, the harder it'll be.”
