• I am not anti-gun. I'm pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We'd turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus, knives don't ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives.

• Physical pain is not a simple affair of an impulse, travelling at a fixed rate along a nerve. It is the resultant of a conflict between a stimulus and the whole individual.

• Woman must come of age by herself. This is the essence of 'coming of age'-to learn how to stand alone. She must learn not to depend on another, nor to feel she must prove her strength by competing with another. In the past, she has swung between these two opposite poles of dependence and competition, of Victorianism and Feminism. Both extremes throw her off balance; neither is the center, the true center of being a whole woman. She must find her true center alone. She must become whole.

• We all have an ongoing narrative inside our heads, the narrative that is spoken aloud if a friend asks a question. That narrative feels deeply natural to me. We also hang on to scraps of dialogue. Our memories don’t usually serve us up whole scenes complete with dialogue. So I suppose I’m saying that I like to work from what a character is likely to remember, from a more interior place.

• You know the pain is part of the whole thing. And it isn’t that you can say afterwards the pleasure was greater than the pain and that’s why you would do it again. That has nothing to do with it. You can’t measure it, because the pain comes after and it lasts longer. So the question really is, Why doesn’t that pain make you say, I won’t do it again? When the pain is so bad that you have to say that, but you don’t.

• We are living in a world where the individual must learn to command the raw materials of expression. He must not be dependent all the time on the ready-made, the finished product. It's the transferring, the changing of the raw into what is the expression of your own self – the whole joy and satisfaction and frustration of life is built into this.

• Mira lo que hay dentro de una gota de agua. Toda la semilla del universo. Ven, ven. Mira lo que hay dentro de una gota de sangre. La composición de la vida. Todo está ahí. El odio también. Nos acercamos al misterio de la vida, pero es imposible comprender el misterio del odio. El tipo de odio que hace que la gente no sólo mate, sino que quiera borrarte del censo de nacimientos. Tengo que concentrarme en ese misterio. Leer todo lo que hay. Tiene que estar en una gota de sangre. Tiene que tener su química.

• Hay una historia... una leyenda, sobre un pájaro que canta sólo una vez en su vida. Desde el momento en que abandona su nido, busca un espino... y nunca descansa hasta que lo encuentra. Y entonces canta... más dulcemente que cualquier otra criatura sobre la faz de la tierra. Y cantando, se clava en la espina más larga y afilada. Pero, al morir, se eleva por encima de su propia agonía, para superar a la alondra y al ruiseñor. El pájaro espinoso paga su vida por un solo canto, pero el mundo entero se detiene a escucharlo, y Dios en su cielo sonríe.
