I consider myself pretty lazy, but I look back and check out the stuff I've done, and I say, 'God, that's a lot of stuff for a lazy guy.' It's a paradox, I suppose, being both things.

There was a time in my life when I wasn't sure I'd ever write a short story again because I had started writing novels, and I am fundamentally a lazy person, and the fact is that a novel is a lazy person's form, really. That is, you can amble; you can digress.

I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.

Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other's work.

I had no thought of being a writer. I never wanted to do anything. I'm tremendously lazy.

I am lazy.

I have to watch out for being lazy.

Being lazy does not mean that you do not create. In fact, lying around doing nothing is an important, nay crucial, part of the creative process. It is meaningless bustle that actually gets in the way of productivity. All we are really saying is, give peace a chance.

Much of my work has come from being lazy.

Because you can be lazy if you don't know the truth.
