What a book a devil's chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering, low, and horribly cruel work of nature!

I can't bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd.

I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.

I really don't know what I am going to do in terms of what a book is going to be about until I actually start writing it!
在我真正开始写一本书之前，我真的不知道我要写一本什么样的书!
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I don't know how the editors are going to take it or how it may be received. But to some extent I'm hoping that with the next book, when people pick it up and read it, it will scare the pants off of them.

I much prefer working with kids whose life could be completely upended by a reading of a book over a weekend. You give them a book to read - they go home and come back a changed person. And that is so much more interesting and exciting.

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it.
一本好书应该给你留下丰富的经验，让你略显疲惫。读这本书的时候，你应该多活几辈子。
