“It's always been the same, growing up in Manhattan... the idea of living within a giant archer's target... for use by the bad Russia bowman with the atomic arrows.”

“When I came back to New York, it was such a joke because I was always referred to as the pure young poet who wasn't in it for what he could get out of it. And all of a sudden, the pure young poet comes back... and I'm hanging out with the Rolling Stones.”

“In a short story, you can use someone - we're only going to be with that person for maybe 10 pages, and they can have sort of a one note personality. And in a novel, you need to have arrows pointing more than one direction for that person.”

“All the arrows continue to point to a personal, political, and financial relationship that Donald Trump had with the Russians.”

“True twins share womb chemistry and endure many fateful slings and arrows together. The fabled connection between twins is true in my case.”
