“Forests are really just a repetition of patterns; it’s why people lose their minds in forests and also on oceans. The human brain needs disruption, I think, and that’s why we make things. You could say that an artist, for instance, finds patterns in everything but I think probably what an artist is really there to do is to tear a big hole in the maddening patterns, to create something that is so itself that it repels everything around it. I’m all for artificiality, is what I’m saying. It’s what humans bring to the table.”

“I'm a commercial writer. I'm not in this for arts sake. I'm in it to make money. It's my way of living. My machine is the typewriter. That's my tool. And I tell everybody that; 'This is a commercial business with me'. And a lot of them think this is a terrible thing to say; 'You should do it for arts sake'. Baloney, arts sake! This is the way I like to live. It allows me to do anything I want.”
