Art can be about the individual writer's response to his or her condition, and if that response comes out of a predigested belief about what the audience wants to hear about the writer's condition, then it has no truth, it has no validity. You either write with your own blood or nobody's. Otherwise it's just ink.”

This has been the role of Jews in the United States, and this is the role of Jews in the Middle East.”

You can see people being hurt, but even though you feel those things strongly, you know they’re not real.”

“The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.
