Parar de pensar nessas coisas talvez seja a melhor saída.”

“Precocious and eccentric are okay. But I think that people in the arts represent something integral and kind of secretive in everybody else.

People are really afraid to put their ass on the line. Just to put your face on a poster and put your name in big print and say "Come see me," that takes some cojones, you know? Ambition is nothing to be ashamed of.”

“Preda mnom cizelirano gvožđe okiva debelo mračno prašnasto drvo, a pod kojim nabijene u glini blatnožute i smećkaste ledene su teške cigle, prisluškujući baš ništa nego blijedo beskrajno zujanje u sluhu lišenog ičega čujnog, tako primjećujem sjećanje mojih neprihvaćanja, ondje isprekidani sinje pepelni faciti kao su padali memlom uma, tako sam jedino želio biti ostavljen, sam, da razmatram u noćnoj dugoj tišini o potrebama i prohtjevima vlastite iskrivljene duše. Osim toga, zbilja ništa, skriven od izloženog, javnog, toli nagog osjeta iskorištenosti, kao prevarant u službi sveca, skriven i od sebe, bio sam ništa; je li koristilo ili moglo potrajati, nije li koštala previše i trošila me vidajući još težim ranjavanjem ostracizacija kao zakrpa ogoljenosti osobe ili sam ustvari bio raspadajuće svojstvo neke manje smislene pojave, usto i tako da je trajalo, ne bi li dostajalo, ne znam, nemam sjećanja, bio sam ništa.”
