I Never Set Out To Write Books

My Father Could Be Very Witty, Even If The Humor Was Always On The Darker Side Of Irony.

I Don't Write For Children. I Write, And Somebody Says, 'that's For Children.'

As A Kid, All I Thought About Was Death. But You Can't Tell Your Parents That.

My Sister Had Her Own Room. She Also Had Innumerable Boyfriends. I Had A Yo-yo Collection That Was Beyond Belief, And The Reason I Had It Was Mostly That I Would Stand In The Doorway Of The Living Room Watching Her And Her Boyfriend. Finally She Caught On How To Get This Kid Out Of The Way. Give Him A Yo-yo!

I Said Anything I Wanted Because I Don't Believe In Children I Don't Believe In Childhood. I Don't Believe That There's A Demarcation. 'oh You Mustn't Tell Them That. You Mustn't Tell Them That.' You Tell Them Anything You Want. Just Tell Them If It's True. If It's True You Tell Them.
