I think anyone who opened their heart enough to love without restraint and subsequently were devastated by loss knows that in that moment you are forever changed; a apart of you is no longer whole. Some will never again love with that level of abando...
I'd paint long strips of canvas and abandon them on the beach, or put bread out in geometric patterns for the pigeons downtown. I wanted people to find something nice and intriguing to puzzle over. Then I'd go back to see if the things were still the...
The thing that probably trips me up the most are people getting tattoos of stuff that I've designed in my books. That always spins me out in a weird way. It seems like such a permanent commitment to something I've done. I don't know that I could do t...

MANY DOGS RUN WILD IN THE CITY. SOME ARE ABANDONED BY THEIR OWNERS AND OTHERS ARE BORN TO LOST DOGS. STRAYS HAVE A LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY EVEN WHEN THEY BAND TOGETHER IN PACKS. THEY ARE PREY TO DISEASE, PARASITES, WEATHER AND AUTOMOBILES. THEY TEND ...
I think that anyone who likes writing views 'The New Yorker' as the, you know, pinnacle of the publishing world. If you get 50 words published in 'The New Yorker,' it's more important than 50 articles in other places. So, would I love to one day writ...
Frank Booth: Let's hit the fuckin' road! We're giving our neighbor a joyride! Let's get on with it! Bye, Ben. Anyone want to go on a joyride with us? How about you, huh? [to Dorothy] Frank Booth: Hey, what's this? No smile for Frank? No? All right, f...
My brother Trev went to the Professional Performing Arts School in New York, and he used to do his monologues and stuff and rehearse in our apartment. So I used to hear him all the time doing these things over and over and over. And when I was a litt...
Vesper Lynd: If the only thing left of you was your smile and your little finger, you'd still be more of a man than anyone I've ever known. James Bond: That's because you know what I can do with my little finger...

Barton Keyes: This Dietrichson business. It's murder. And murders don't come any neater. As fancy a piece of homicide as anyone ever ran into. Smart, tricky, almost perfect. But... I think papa has it all figured out. Figured out and wrapped up in ti...
Commentator: The time elapsed from the first to the last shot was seven seconds. In all, more than 140 shots were fired. Sever bullets pierced the president's car; one came within an inch of his head. But, as if by a miracle, neither he nor anyone el...
[in Russian, referring to Jonathan's trip to Lutsk] Alexander Perchov, Father: Papa, I need you to drive them. Grandfather: Go to hell! I'm not driving anyone. Alexander Perchov, Father: Papa, they are paying $1,200 American. Grandfather: I don't car...
Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle: You dumb guinea. Buddy "Cloudy" Russo: How the hell was I supposed to know he had a knife. Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle: Never trust a nigger. Buddy "Cloudy" Russo: He could have been white. Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle: Never trust anyone!
Announcer: [first lines, voiceover] They called him Machete. Machete: [voiceover] Seventy dollars a day for yard work. Hundred for roofing. The Boss: [car with The Boss pulls up] Get in. Machete: [cut to Machete in car with The Boss] One-twenty-five ...
Detective Berman: Johnny, was there anyone in the last day or two who..."hurt" you? Johnny Grasso: No. I... I... I don't think so. Detective Berman: But someone did hurt you... no, Johnny? Johnny Grasso: No. No-one hurt me. Joe: What do ya mean no? Y...
