I Don't Really Write Plots. I Use

I Expect That My Readers Have Been To Europe, I Expect Them To Have Some Feeling For A Foreign Language, I Expect Them To Have Read Books - There Are A Lot Of People Like That! That's My Audience.

I'm Basically An Upper West Side Jewish Writer.

The Best Paris I Know Now Is In My Head.

One Is What One Has The Nerve To Pretend To Be.

I Have A Very Serious Censorship Office Inside My Head; It Censors Things That I Could Tell You That You Would Never Forget, And I Don't Want To Be The Person To Stick That In Your Brain.
