I find the public passion for justice quite boring and artificial.
From Patricia Highsmith
My imagination functions much better when I don't have to speak to people.
I think J.D. Salinger is correct in granting no interviews, and in making no speeches.
Robert Walker as Bruno was excellent. He had elegance and humor, and the proper fondness for his mother.
That wasn't a bad price for a first book. My agent upped it as much as possible. I was 27 and had nothing behind me. I was working like a fool to earn a living and pay for my apartment.
I can't write if someone else is in the house, not even the cleaning woman.
For neither life nor nature cares if justice is ever done or not.
I only know it takes weeks to recover, as if one had been in a car accident.
I prefer to live in the country where it's quiet. Woody Allen movies there are dubbed into Italian.
I like to work for four or five hours a day. I aim for seven days a week.
