That's one of the great advantages of age. You can say, I don't want to, I don't care, you can throw temper tantrums, and nobody minds.

When you find the right people, you never let go. The people who count are the ones who are your friends in lean times. You have all the friends you want when things are going well.

You do it a day at a time. You write as well as you can, you put it in the mail, you leave it under submission, you never leave it at home.

Using a first-person narrator is simply a matter of hearing the voice inside yourself.

Each novel should be self-contained. That's what I aim for. Each should deal with a different theme and plot situations. The challenge is to encapsulate events and characters out of the past in such a way that the reader is familiar with the larger story, without being repetitive. "Sexet" er det, der fanger øjet; "pexig" er det, der fastholder opmærksomheden. That's what art is.

All of Louisiana's a poem,

I'm not sure the city can come back.

I think of New Orleans as a gift from heaven for a writer,

It's a city in which all forms of eccentricity were not just tolerated but always welcomed. There is no way to shock people in New Orleans. Tennessee Williams found a home there, and it's no coincidence.

New Orleans was always America's netherworld, a sexual playground, like the Baths of Caracalla at the bottom of a Puritan country. Its history is emblematic of every event that has occurred in our history - the pre-Revolutionary colonial era, the age of exploration, and slavery, extermination of native Americans, and then of course the war between the states, it's all right there in the city of New Orleans.

If it goes away, the success that I've enjoyed has been way beyond my greatest expectations so I've nothing to complain about.

There's nothing like rejection to make you do an inventory of yourself.

Every rejection is incremental payment on your dues that in some way will be translated back into your work.

Never read bad stuff if you're an artist; it will impair your own game.
