Don't Live With Writers. Writers Are Bastards.

Be Authentic To Your Dreams. Be Authentic To Your Own Idea About Yourself. Grind Away At Your Own Minds And Bodies Until You Become Your Own Invention. Be Mad Scientists.

Dance Like You're Stamping On A Human Face Forever, Love Like You've Been In A Serious Car Crash That Minced The Front Of Your Brain, Stab Like No One Can Arrest You, And Live Like There's No Such Thing As God.

I Admit That I Have Sometimes Claimed To Be Batman In The Past. But Only When Really, Really Drunk.

You Must Remember That The Common Criminal Will Always Join The Armed Forces For, If Nothing Else, Regular Meals And Expert Training In The Use Of Guns.

Unless You Turn Out To Be A Shining And Ballistic Genius, Then, Trust Me, If You Want To Do This Then You're Going To Be Spending The Next Few Years Doing Little Else. This Is A Thing You Do At A Table With A Notebook And A Keyboard, And There's No Getting Away From It. Put In The Hours. You Don't Get To Turn Off 'being A Writer.'
