I’m having a wonderful time visiting friends in Fort Myers. But last night I had a very un-wonderful dream about someone I won’t be seeing while I’m here, and I woke up crying.

"If you want to express yourself, film is a very expensive way to do it. You really want to express yourself and do it inexpensively, you open up your laptop or your fucking smartphone, press record and you start talking. And you talk to people you like or people you found interesting and you talk like you’re the fucking star of something. Because we’re so used to being entertained and this is the first generation where they’re kind of getting it - oh, we can be entertaining as well. And that’s the kind of thing I like to push people toward because A) That means that I’ll have something to watch for the next few fucking years, it’s inspiring and fucking it gives you a kick to see other artists take off and start their journey and shit like that - something good’s gonna come out of it, but also it’s just, your legend grows, you know what I’m saying? You become the guy who launched a thousand ships."

“If someone asks me, ‘Why do you write?’ I can reply by pointing out that it is a very dumb question. Nevertheless, there is an answer. I write because I hate. A lot. Hard.” — William Gass, The Paris Review (via greenapplebooks)

"I am just unbearably interested; Did it mean anything to you? I mean we said goodbye, the modern method of obviously covering all emotional crises, and you shut the door behind you violently. Your exit speaks for itself; a moment of inconceivable rudeness and tremendous cowardice. But did it mean anything - dramatically walking away, indirectly (or perhaps absolutely directly) refusing me the right to even utter a single sentence? At any rate, your dark enigmatic ways are evidently swept away for such “partings” do not make the slightest impression on me. Worst of all, I thought you very much more of a brain than I had thought you before. Very much of a clever little brain. Nevertheless, not much of a person."
