Truman Capote

Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy.

A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.

Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

Single's fun - you don't have to check in with your girl, but it's not easy. I do get lonely.
