"I can always live by my pen."

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself."

"I have learnt how to live, how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch."

"No matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."

"You can steer yourself in any direction you choose."
