  Making home movies
  For the folks back home

  Drill holes in themselves
  And live for their secrets.

• The sun rejoicing round the earth, announced
  Daily the wisdom, power and love of God.
  The moon awoke, and from her maiden face,
  Shedding her cloudy locks, looked meekly forth,
  And with her virgin stars walked in the heavens--
  Walked nightly there, conversing as she walked,
  Of purity, and holiness, and God.

It is so light, so gentle; so escaping from the idea of death, that, with a lock of hair belonging to a child or friend, we may almost look up to heaven and compare notes with the angelic nature,--may almost say, "I have a piece of thee here not unworthy of thy being now.

• Writers are egotists. All artists are. They can’t be altruists and get their work done. And writers love to whine about the Solitude of the Author’s Life, and lock themselves into cork-lined rooms or droop around in bars in order to whine better. But although most writing is done in solitude, I believe that it is done, like all the arts, for an audience. That is to say, with an audience. All the arts are performance arts, only some of them are sneakier about it than others.

  Dances with the hours and graces.

• We don't believe it's possible to protect digital content. What's new is this amazingly efficient distribution system for stolen property called the Internet-- and no one's gonna shut down the Internet. And it only takes one stolen copy to be on the Internet. And the way we expressed it to them is: Pick one lock--open every door. It only takes one person to pick a lock. Worst case: Somebody just takes the analog outputs of their CD player and rerecords it-- puts it on the Internet. You'll never stop that. So what you have to do is compete with it.
